The Pioneer Collection
Pioneer Miracles
A living archive of faith-promoting accounts from Latter-day Saint pioneers and their families — those who gathered to Zion, crossed the plains, and raised up the settlements of the Restoration — veterans like Elias Adams, who carried his War of 1812 faith across the plains to Utah. Each account is also sorted into its proper miracle type, so the pioneer collection is a people-category, not a separate kind of miracle.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pioneer Miracles collection?
It is a curated category of faith-promoting accounts from Latter-day Saint pioneers and their families — those who gathered to Zion, crossed the plains, and built up the settlements of the Restoration. Each account is also sorted into its proper miracle type (healing, protection, angels, and so on), so the pioneer collection is a people-category rather than a separate kind of miracle.
Are pioneer miracles counted twice in the archive total?
No. Every account is a single record. A pioneer story that involves an angel, for example, is categorized under 'Angels' as its miracle type and also tagged as a pioneer account. The total number of miracles in the archive never double-counts it.
How can I browse pioneer miracles by what happened?
Use the 'Browse by Type' grid on this page to see pioneer accounts grouped by the kind of miracle — visions, healings, protection, divine provision, and more. You can also browse by the decade the account is set in.
How can I submit a pioneer account?
Sign in and use the Submit Account option to share a documented pioneer miracle or testimony. Choose the miracle type that best describes what happened, and an editor will review it before it is published.
