The Zion's Camp Collection
Zion's Camp Miracles
A living archive of faith-promoting accounts from Zion's Camp — the 1834 “Camp of Israel” march led by the Prophet Joseph Smith from Kirtland, Ohio to Clay County, Missouri. On that nine-hundred-mile journey the men of the camp recorded healings, divine provision, the miraculous Fishing River storm, prophecies, and angelic protection. Each account is also sorted into its proper miracle type, so Zion's Camp is a location-based collection, not a separate kind of miracle.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Zion's Camp Miracles collection?
It is a dedicated collection of faith-promoting accounts that occurred during Zion's Camp — the 1834 expedition (the Camp of Israel) led by the Prophet Joseph Smith from Ohio to Missouri to relieve the expelled Saints. Each account is also sorted into its proper miracle type (healing, protection, provision, prophecy, and so on), so Zion's Camp is a location-based collection, not a separate kind of miracle.
Are Zion's Camp miracles counted twice in the archive total?
No. Every account is a single record. A Zion's Camp story involving a healing, for example, is categorized under 'Healing' as its miracle type and also tagged as a Zion's Camp account. The total number of miracles in the archive never double-counts it.
How can I browse Zion's Camp miracles by what happened?
Use the 'Browse by Miracle Type' grid on this page to see Zion's Camp accounts grouped by the kind of miracle — visions, healings, protection, divine provision, prophecies, and more. You can also browse by the decade the account is set in.
