My grandmother has always told me stories about how our ancestors came through The Hole in the Rock to go south and settle Southern Utah. I've heard the story a million times... well mostly that it had happened more than anything else, but I feel it's time that I've learned the actual details. I know that they were part of the explosive team to blast through the rock but I want to know, why did they go? How did they do it? What kinds of explosives did they use? Was it dangerous? How did they learn to use explosives? Who did they go with? I am going to embark on the quest to find these details (ask grandma what's up). I'll keep all y'alls posted!
Thesis:
My great-great-great grandfather, Benjamin Perkins, was an excellent man because he followed the Prophet, served others, and was a hard worker.
