I wish to express my deep appreciation for his solicited guidance, his unsolicited kindness, and his very special friendship. I am also deeply indebted to the scholarly assistance provided by Ron Watt, Senior Archivist at the Historical Department of the Church of Jesus Christ Latter-day Saints in Salt Lake City; Mark smith, Archivist at the Brigham Young University Archives in Provo, Utah, and; Robert Parson of the Special Collections and Archives at Utah State University in Logan, Utah. iii DEDICATION This effort is lovingly dedicated to Rod and Collin, and to the many special people who bless my life with their patience and unconditional love. PREFACE Chronicles of human achievement are satiated with biographies of men and women whose profound lives were exemplary, though often removed from common experience. The historical record frequently fails to nourish our understanding of less celebrated individuals whose personal and public demeanor shaped the direction of ordinary events. The following biography attempts to depict the life of an extraordinary woman, though widely unknown, who contributed to the development of education on the western frontier during a period in American history that is characterized by civic responsibility and social reform. Susa Young Gates was the forty-first child of Mormon leader Brigham Young. Her mother, Lucy Bigelow, was one of an estimated fifty-five plural wives who consented to a polygamous union with the second prophet of a burgeoning Mormon church. The plural household in which the extended family of Brigham Young lived was considered to be one of the most radical experiments in family living arrangements of the nineteenth century. Susa was born in Salt Lake City in 1856, and lived during a period of social and religious transition between the Victorian Age and the Progressive Era. When Susa iv was born, the Great Salt Lake Valley was part of the vast untamed frontier of the intermountain West, where the Mormons were largely, and deliberately, isolated from mainstream American society. The circumstances of frontier life, isolation from the greater society, and unorthodox family arrangements converged to produce a distinct influence on Mormon society and education. It was an influence that fashioned the character of Susa Young Gates, as well. Susa grew to become one of Brigham Young's 'favorite' children, serving for a short while as his personal secretary. She was regarded as a considerable force in the campaign for national women's suffrage, and by the turn of the century, she had gained international recognition as an advocate of women's rights. She held several international appointments and was closely acquainted with popular suffragists such as Susan B. Anthony, Clara Barton and Charlotte Perkins Gilman. Additionally, Susa Young Gates was a skilled writer and editor, a gifted musician, a scholarly genealogist, and a persuasive public speaker. She also served as a missionary for several years. Though she was accomplished in many fields, and committed to many causes, Susa's contribution to education is often overlooked. This outspoken Mormon suffragist vigorously argued for female enrollment in colleges and high schools, and served as a trustee at both Brigham Young Academy, now Brigham Young University and the v Utah State Agricultural College, now Utah State University. She is referred to as the 'Mother' of Physical Education in Utah as a consequence of her many contributions to the study of physiology and family planning. Susa's professional accomplishments were models of precision, organization and fortitude. Her personal affairs, however, were often saturated in contradiction, controversy and tragedy. Against her parents wishes, Susa married impetuously at the age of sixteen, and would suffer the social and emotional consequences of divorce five years, later. She bore a total of thirteen children, losing eight of them to divorce, illness, or accident. Additionally, Susa endured six miscarriages. The following essay examines the social, religious, and political influences that fashioned the professional efforts and personal impulses of Susa Young Gates, and specifically analyzes those features that shaped her perspective towards education. Constructing this biography was often a challenging enterprise. It derives from a non-Mormon perspective which renders both objectivity and bias. It derives, as well, from a perspective imbued with feminism. Interpreting sources which originate from an era and culture largely dominated by overtly male structures, invites radical interpretation from those determined (or destined) to view them from a feminist viewpoint. People and events become disproportionately magnified, and there is a temptation to vi invent villains and heroines rather than depict the mortal attributes of average people who may mirror, too closely perhaps, our own humanness. Such was the handicap that encumbered this effort. Throughout her life Susa Young was both praised and criticized for being a contradiction in terms. She could be strong-willed yet submissive, and impatient yet tender, often exhibiting these behaviors in tandem. But to say that her life was a study in contrast fails to capture the complexity of her character. It is more accurate, perhaps, to define her life as an elaborate saga consisting of several episodes. It is a story that merits our time and attention because it provides not only a richer understanding of the interdependent relationship between education and Mormonism, but it reveals the underlying sets of tensions that would come to define the unique role of women in Mormon society during a period of social and religious transformation. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS . iii PREFACE . iv CHAPTER 1.

    Levi Ward Hancock (Pioneer) mentioned in D&C 52:29 & 124:138 The Posterity of Nathaniel Hancock Nathaniel Hancock Nathaniel Hancock Thomas Hancock John Hancock John Hancock John Hancock Thomas Hancock John Hancock Thomas Hancock (The signer) Levi Ward Hancock (The pioneer) Our immigrant ancestor, Nathaniel Hancock, was the second great-grandfather of John Hancock, President of the Continental Congress and the first Signer of the Declaration of Independence. Nathaniel was also the second great-grandfather of Thomas Hancock, third cousin of President John Thomas had two brothers killed in the War of Independence. He then tried to enlist as a youth, but the officers thought three sons taken from one family was too much. A LOVER OF FREEDOM: Thomas Hancock had a son, Levi Ward Hancock. He was one of the Presidents of the First Council of Seventy, and a faithful Utah pioneer. He, too, was lover of freedom, and also suffered at the hands of the enemies. In the face of violence in Missouri, he wrote a patriotic song one Fourth of July, which his brother, Solomon Hancock, sang at the celebration. In it, there were appealing lines. Then God armed our fathers with power, They told the brave tale to their children, And Washington came to our aid, And told them the same to hand down And in wisdom conducted the battle To their children’s children forever, And soon made the Tories afraid. Until the great trumpet shall sound. Hark, hear how the great battle rages, Exalt then the standard of freedom, Behold him undauntedly stand.

Elizabeth Raymond, Ph.D. / Thesis Advisor December 2019 Copyright by Shannon Caldwell Montez 2019 All Rights Reserved UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA RENO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the thesis prepared under our supervision by SHANNON CALDWELL MONTEZ entitled The Secret Mormon Meetings of 1922 be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS C. Elizabeth Raymond, Ph.D., Advisor Cameron B. Strang, Ph.D., Committee Member Greta E. de Jong, Ph.D., Committee Member Erin E. Stiles, Ph.D., Graduate School Representative David W. Zeh, Ph.D., Dean, Graduate School December 2019 i Abstract B. H. Roberts presented information to the leadership of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in January of 1922 that fundamentally challenged the entire premise of their religious beliefs. New research shows that in addition to church leadership, this information was also presented during the neXt few months to a select group of highly educated Mormon men and women outside of church hierarchy. This group represented many aspects of Mormon belief, different areas of eXpertise, and varying approaches to dealing with challenging information. Their stories create a beautiful tapestry of Mormon life in the transition years from polygamy, frontier life, and resistance to statehood, assimilation, and respectability. A study of the people involved illuminates an important, overlooked, underappreciated, and eXciting period of Mormon history.

    PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE We need your help. For years now, the Milo Andrus Family Organization has operated, for the most part, on money submitted by sub- scribers to the Recorder. A subscription to the Recorder for one year amounts to $6.00. This is not enough to finance such a lication and pay the expenses of the genealogical research. We need more money. Surely we have Andrus's with extra "bucs" who could supplement our financial resources with some generous contributions. We know we can't "take it with us." And what better way to spend it than to ferret out the names of our ancestors who are undoubtedly waiting for their temple work to be done. We plead with any of you who have money you could contribute to the Organization to do so. We assure you, it will be well spent. If any of you have ideas about how to generate additional funds, we would appreciate hearing from you. Pooling our resources and working together will be the key to success in our research program. Write to: Alyn B. Andrus, President 64 S. 3rd E. Rexburg, Idaho 83440 Sharon Long, Treasurer Route #1 Box 77 Shelley, Idaho 83274 Let us hear from you. And thanks for your support.

  • Non-Mormon Presence in 1880S Utah
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Earth and Mineral Sciences THE WASP IN THE BEEHIVE: NON-MORMON PRESENCE IN 1880S UTAH A Thesis in Geography by Samuel A. Smith c 2008 Samuel A. Smith Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science August 2008 The thesis of Samuel A. Smith was read and approved1 by the following: Deryck W. Holdsworth Professor of Geography Thesis Adviser Roger Downs Professor of Geography Karl Zimmerer Professor of Geography Head of the Department of Geography 1. Signatures on file in the Graduate School. iii Abstract Recent studies have reconsidered the Mormon Culture Region in light of its 1880{1920 transition to American political and economic norms. While these studies emphasize conflicts between the Mormon establishment and the non-Mormon federal government, Mormon/non-Mormon relations within Utah have received little direct attention. Based on religious affiliations recorded in the 1880 federal census of Utah Territory, this study uses historical GIS to visualize the composition of Utah's \Mormon" and \non-Mormon" towns. The results highlight the extensive presence of religious minorities in Utah's settlements. Case studies of farm villages, mining camps, and urban neighborhoods probe the social and economic contexts of non-Mormon presence in Utah. These studies, based on Sanborn maps and city directories, explore the geographical mosaic of Mormon and non-Mormon residence and business activity. These variegated patterns, often absent from historical accounts of the region, enable localized analyses of the ensuing decades of cultural conflict, transformation and assimilation. Keywords: Mormons, non-Mormons, Mormon Culture Region, Utah, 1880 Cen- sus, historical demography.

  • Catalogue #19
    Back of Beyond Books proudly releases Catalogue #19. We continue to feature books and ephemera from the American West but you’ll also find numerous pages of Americana, Travel and Photographic material along with Explora- tion, Mining and Native Americana. We’ve also picked up small collections of Poetry and Art Books which have been fun to catalogue. Perhaps my favorite genre of Catalogue #19 are the 21 Promotional items from western states and communities. These colorful pamphlets, mostly from the early 20th century, would make any Chamber of Commerce proud. It’s always interesting to see what items sell quickly in each catalogue. I of- ten guess wrong so I’ll leave the decisions up to you. Several items of note, however, include: The best association copy known of Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian--inscribed to Edward Abbey, a beautifully bright advertising poster for the ‘Field Self Discharging Rake’, a scarce promotional for the Salt River Valley of Arizona, a full-plate tintype from Volcano, California, and six large format albumen photographs depicting archaeological sites of Arizona and New Mexico by John K. Hillers. I’m also taken with the striking and rare Broadside for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad, the very clean re- view copy of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring and the atlas from the Pike Expe- dition published in 1810. Thanks to my staff at the store for working around the piles and boxes of books. If you’re ever in Moab our shop is open daily; please stop in. Sophie Tomkiewicz used the skills she learned at the Colorado Rare Books School in developing Catalogue #19 and Eric Trenbeath is our designer.
