In which we are introduced to John and Lucy Ferrier, as well as a young Jefferson Hope. I also discuss the representation of Mormon settlers in the beginning. This episode's list of interesting vocabulary: 'genius' (not the meaning you were expecting!), 'penitently', 'diffidently', 'visage', 'indefatigable' (which I evidently cannot pronounce), 'bullocks', 'demurely', and 'halcyon days'. Join me next week to learn more of Hope's back story!
