Not long ago I came across a drawing and a report written by a fourth grader about Porter Rockwell.
In 1997 the Utah Board of Education and BYU Public School Partnership banded together to form Heritage Gateways, the official sesquicentennial celebration of the famed Mormon Pioneer exodus to Utah.
The schools gathered drawings and reports from K-12 grade students statewide describing the events and people involved in the original trek west in 1847. The site that hosts this has historical diaries, excerpts from books, articles, and maps, etc.
