Thirteen Years to Zion Mormon Settlement in Texas Era
Tale of Lyman Wight and followers who left Fredericksburg Zodiac for Burnet and Bandera counties. From Nauvoo exodus to Zodiac on Pedernales, building mills, a temple, and a tight-knit community amid floods and German neighbors. Wight clashed with Brigham Young, was excommunicated, then led a Burnet County settlement along Hamilton Creek with a flood-prone mill and new grist mill.
