The second in our two-part series about the incredible life of Jacob Hamblin, this episode covers:

1) Jacob's first mission to the Navajo Nation in southern Utah in 1854  (and how he got peer-pressured into fighting for a bride); 

2) His near-death experience after falling 30 feet while cutting wood in the summer of 1858; 

3) Leading the first Mormon expedition to the Hopi Tribe of southeastern Utah; 

4) His attempt to lead another expedition to Oraibi which culminated in a deadly struggle with a party of Navajo warriors; and

5) How in February of 1862, Jacob woke up to a flashflood wiping his town (Santa Clara) off the map.
