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 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 endured along the way.
