    • Mission Call to Pine, Arizona
      Poem by Lyman Leavitt

      When I lived in Mesa City, at the close of ninety-nine
      A messenger came one morning, saying you are called to go to Pine
      It struck me like a thunder-bolt, because I didn't want to go
      But the Lord directs his people and from him all blessings flow.

      We lived in peace and plenty, with neighbors good and kind.
      But to accept this proposition, we must leave them all behind.
      On the twentieth day of August, we took our little band
      Like Joshua and Caleb who went out to spy the land.

      We had two well loaded wagons with horses fat and true.
      And two good saddle ponies, to pack the children through.
      But we shall ne’er forget the morning as we passed along the line.
      Our friends came out to bless us, and say God speed to Pine.

      For ten days in seccession, we slowly rolled away,
      And where ever night overtook us, we ne'er forgot to pray.
      We crossed the quick-sand rivers and desert hot and dry.
      And camped twelve miles up the mountain, which seemed to pierce the sky.

      But that fearful night is still before me and a tear creeps in my eye.
      For heavens artillery was raging below us and my wife began to cry.
      Here I put in a word of comfort saying the roads were fine
      I promised her in two days more we would be landed safe in Pine.

      At ten next day we passed the pinch and rolled away with ease,
      At twelve o'clock we reach a spot abounding with water, grass and trees.
      All nature here had taken a change, while music cheered this wild location
      Which carried me back full fifty years, to my old habitation.

      We camped that night on the Mokone in timber tall and grand.
      And ere the sun went down the next day we reached the promised land.
      And here we are among the saints, fulfilling a revelation.
      That God hath declared would come to pass in this last dispensation.

      Poem written by Lyman Leavitt August 1899 after arrival in Pine concerning travels and experiences from Mesa to Pine.
