“And Many Old Women Do Faint by the Way and Die”

Brant Gardner

Mormon is unable to assist the “widows and daughters” in Sherrizah because his army cannot break through the Lamanite lines. He clearly wants to assist them and feels grieved and frustrated that he cannot. He almost certainly is receiving reports on the situation from spies and small scouting parties.
