was among the first Mormon colonists to settle in Pacheco, Mexico. We have compiled this history to portray in words and pictures the events in Henry Lunt's Life. It is a factual story which could have been made more interesting with a little dramatic license and with quotations of what "might" have been said or "probably" was done. We have preferred to stay with history and have tried to tell the facts without embellishing them. Accuracy has been our main goal, and there are many quotations from historical accounts. This book is written for the Lunt family, but others will find that, in many ways, the story parallels the lives of their own ancestors. For the most part, Henry and his children have supplied the information for this document. Henry Lunt's willingness to follow the advice of the Church leaders is not unique among the pioneers who settled the West. It can never be said that he ever declined a request or "call" from the Church authorities. York and I have the greatest esteem and respect for Henry Lunt and his wives and children. We sincerely hope this book will reveal the subject in such a manner that those who read it, especially the farmly members, will gain an insight into the stoic Enghsh gentleman who gave up e v e m g he owned for the Mormon Church. We also hope that the readers will gain an appreciation for the never-ending labor and diligence of the pioneers who settled Utah. They truly recognized "the hand of God" in all things. We wish to thank the many family members, and other historians, who contributed freely of their time and shared their history collections and pictures with us. Also, we want to thank our children for supporting us in this endeavor, especially our son, Evan, and his wife, Carol, who spent many hours in editing and revising to make the story more readable.
