<div>Bridget Biddy Mason was forced to walk from Mississippi to California when her enslaver followed Mormon leader, Brigham Young to the west. While others road in wagons or on horseback, she walked the entire way, while caring for her new born baby. Her story is one of survival, courage, and strength that leads her to become one of the most successful and wealthiest black women of her time.
