Whatever route they actually traveled, and however long it took them to arrive, your account of Richard Litson has at least provided me a window to better understand the journey.

Do you know if the Pitts followed the same route north through Canada and then back south through Chicago, or did they travel straight across the country?<br /><br />It looks like they're listed on the Overland Travel database as crossing the country in either 1866 or 1867, so they could have been one of many families that took more than a single calendar year to travel from Europe to Utah. It was a long hard trip!Amy Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04037263182287268748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1446893552661887965.post-27519105513816622522011-09-06T21:46:22.820-04:002011-09-06T21:46:22.820-04:00First, I really enjoy your blog.

The Pitts were originally from Willenhall in Staffordshire.<br /><br />Your posts fill in a lot of the blanks for me regarding that company's passage from Liverpool and emigration.
