Olive Oatman |1 On The Road To Utopia
Manage episode 376616044 series 2833734
In 1849, Olive Oatman's father sold everything he owned and started out west with his wife and children. He was following a twenty-one year old Mormon prophet in search of Utopia, which he said was located in the middle of the desert somewhere in Arizona. As spiritual tensions broke up the wagon train, and the perils of the journey widdled away at their animals and supplies, the family found themselves on their own, stranded in a war zone.
