individ- ual mormon convert and the subsequent development of his life and personality are limited such studies are neces- sary however for an understanding of the mormon character and the mormon movement most biographies and diaries are written aboutabout or by the top leaders of great movements rather than the valiant men who assisted in making the movement successful and without whom very little progress could have been made this is the biography of one of these men on 19 june 1862 in braintreeBrain tree essex england william mclachlan a twenty two year old convert to the church of jesus christ of latter day saints commenced a journal which in the course of time became a series of at least eleven volumes recording the events of his life almost continuously until 31 july 1887 these volumes provide insight into the life of one british convert and an opportunity to study the influence of that conversion on the day to day life of carpenter and builder who liked to study vi and write his journals express the views and aspirations of a new convert and trace the development of a devout mormon into a local leader in that church the personal records of william mclachlan can become a basis for comparison in the study of other mormon converts who struggled to build zion his journals his letters his speeches and his life all were to achieve one ultimate goal to build the kingdom of god and to gain a place fforor himself and his family in that kingdom without such men of deep conviction there would be a difdlfdifferentf erent story a difdlfdifferentferent history in the first volume he wrote of his birth and early life in scotland his conversion in england and journey to utah his record of that journey by ship railway and wagon train was the official record of the traveling company the second volume of the journal begins on 1 january 1864 in salt lake city and outlines his struggle and discouragement in trying to establish himself in zion and learn a new occupation apparently this struggle resulted in a cessation of record keeping since no journal has been located for the period from 1865 to 1875 except for one paragraph in 1867 after receiving a call to a mission in new zealand in october 1875 he resumed his journal keeping and continued it until july 1887 except for two short periods which are missing consequently nine volumes are available but no journals have been located for the years vii from 1878 to 1880 and for 1886 more than twenty letters written to his wives during his mission to new zealand enrich our knowledge of that period of his life another fifty letters written to his family from 1885 to 1888 from manti provide additional information for those years the period from 1887 to 1916 can be reconstructed from a collection of 135 letters to his third wife lucy and from three pocket notebooks kept from 1898 to 1916 including the period he served as the first president of the pioneer stake 1 four of the journals are in the

U I ,·\H INTRODUCTION During the nineteenth-century, almost 85,000 Mormon emigrants crossed the oceans to America. Motivated by the doctrine of gathering, they were drawn to the Great Basin in droves. The missionaries who converted them also accompanied them on their ocean voyages and across the continent. While compiling a source guide to Mormon pioneer companies crossing the plains, we realized that a source guide to ocean narratives might also be valued by family researchers and historians. Past experience in providing reference assistance to researchers and historians di eta ted the focus of this source guide. Na r ra ti ves of ocean travel and shipboard life of Mormon emigrants and missionaries found in published and unpublished letters, reports, and journals were included. These were further limited to primary accounts of voyages across the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean to America. Accounts of voyages in large organized companies, small groups, or single Mormon individuals were included. Accounts of the ocean travels of Mormons departing from American ports to other countries were not included in this guide.

  • A History of Beaver County, Utah Centennial County History Series
    A HISTORY OF 'Beaver County Martha Sonntag Bradley UTAH CENTENNIAL COUNTY HISTORY SERIES A HISTORY OF 'Beaver County Martha Sonntag Bradley The settlement of Beaver County began in February 1856 when fifteen families from Parowan moved by wagon thirty miles north to Beaver Valley. The county was created by the Utah legislature on 31 January 1856, a week before the Parowan group set out to make their new home. However, centuries before, prehistoric peoples lived in the area, obtaining obsidian for arrow and spear points from the Mineral Mountains. Later, the area became home to Paiute Indians. Franciscan Friars Dominguez and Escalante passed through the area in October 1776. The Mormon settlement of Beaver devel­ oped at the foot of the Tushar Mountains. In 1859 the community of Minersville was es­ tablished, and residents farmed, raised live­ stock, and mined the lead deposits there. In the last quarter of the nineteenth century the Mineral Mountains and other locations in the county saw extensive mining develop­ ment, particularly in the towns of Frisco and Newhouse. Mining activities were given a boost with the completion of the Utah South­ ern Railroad to Milford in 1880. The birth­ place of both famous western outlaw Butch Cassidy and inventor of television Philo T. Farnsworth, Beaver County is rich in history, historic buildings, and mineral treasures.

I’m thankful for my parents, Donald and Jane McNett, who consistently pestered me by asking “How’s it coming with your thesis? Are you done yet?” I’m thankful for friends, such as: Adam Suarez, Phillip Sitter, Brandon Roney, Robert Gayden and Zach Folken, who would periodically ask me “What’s your thesis about again?” That was a question that would unintentionally put me back on track. In terms of staying on task my thesis committee (mentioned elsewhere) was nothing short of a godsend.
