"The indomitable human spirit is exemplified by the early pioneers of the
American frontier, who, in times of great adversity, turned suffering and
hardship into opportunities for growth and experience. Many who have gone
before us have demonstrated that our inner happiness has little to do
with our outer circumstances. The external conditions weathered by these
pioneers were often harsh, and winter's severity forced them to take
refuge in temporary settlements referred to by trappers and explorers as
'winter quarters.' Here, families crossing the land in ox-drawn wagons
containing all they owned, found a respite from the journey and all the
hardships entailed along the way.
Yet even with the confines of shelter, tragedy was no stranger. When
disease struck, it took a heavy toll, and hundreds would succumb, weakened
by inadequate provisions and fatigue. Parents, who had already sacrificed
so much, buried their beloved children. Those who were able cared for those
who were ill. The fact that these brave pioneers persevered, despite their
struggles, suffering and sacrifices is a testimony to their spirit. Rather
than becoming hardened, adversity strengthened their resolve and deepened their
communal spirit.
Fortunately, this austere existence did not crowd out of life the joy
of living. Laughter, merriment, playfulness, the lively strains of the
violing, and the dancing party were still observed. Music and song nowhere and
at no time better served their purpose of cheering the hearts of men than in
these wilderness encampments."--- Greg Olsen
