I wrote Because They Believed in memory of the Willie and Martin Handcart Companies of 1856. There are references in the lyrics to some of the events and places associated with their experience. It does, however, apply to anyone who is grateful for the legacy their ancestors left them. SATB and Duet versions also available.
