As a child Ellsworth grew up living in a number of different places including Arizona, Utah, California, and Missouri. He graduated from high school in Kansas City, Missouri in 1934 and attended Kansas City Junior College between 1934 and 1936 studying pre-architecture. Ellsworth served an LDS mission to the North Central State Mission (headquarters in Minneapolis, Minnesota) between 1936 and 1938. As a missionary, he served as the Mission Supervisor of Sunday Schools and Mutual and as the Mission Secretary. During this time, Ellsworth's interests in history replaced his previous ambitions in architecture. Ellsworth returned home to his family in Logan, Utah after his mission. In Logan he attended Utah State Agricultural College and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in history and mathematics in June 1941. After graduation Ellsworth moved to Bunkerville, Nevada to become principal of the Virgin Valley LDS Seminary and a teacher at Virgin Valley High School from September 1941 to November 1942.

Between 1946 and 1951 Ellsworth attended the University of California at Berkley. He received his Master of Arts degree in History in 1947 after finishing his thesis entitled "A History of Mormon Missionary Activity in the United States and Canada, 1830-1845." Four years later he received his Doctor of Philosophy degree in History and Philosophy. His completed dissertation was named "A History of Mormon Missions in the United States and Canada, 1830-1860." During his time in graduate school Ellsworth was a teaching assistant in History at the University of California, School of Agriculture at Davis, for the 1948-1949 school year. He also served as a teaching assistant at Berkley in 1949 and 1950. During the summer session of 1949 Ellsworth worked as a visiting instructor in History at Utah State Agricultural College in Logan, Utah. After receiving his Ph.D. at Berkley, Ellsworth returned to Logan and taught History at USAC for the next thirty-one years. He began in January 1951 as an assistant professor of History. In July 1954 he became an associate professor, and in March 1963 he was promoted to full professor. From 1966 to1969 Ellsworth served as the head of the Department of History. His teaching at USAC included classes in Western Civilization, Greek History, Roman History, History of Utah, Social History of the United States, American Philosophy, Recent United States History, Hispanic American History, Colonial Latin America, Sources and Literature, Introduction to Historical Research, Historical Method and Research, and Ancient World Civilization. During his career, Ellsworth served as a visiting professor at West Virginia University in Morgantown, West Virginia in 1954 and Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah in 1956. In 1983, Samuel George Ellsworth retired and became a Professor Emeritus. In addition to his long teaching career at Utah State Agricultural College (in 1957 the college changed its name to Utah State University), George Ellsworth was also a member of many local, state, and national historical associations. Some of these associations included the American Historical Association; the Organization of American Historians; the Western History Association; the Mormon History Association; the Oral History Association; Utah State Historical Society; Cache Valley Historical Society; Utah Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters; Phi Alpha Theta; Phi Kappa Phi; the Heritage Committee of the Utah American Revolution Bicentennial Commission; and the Utah Endowment for the Humanities. Ellsworth served two terms as president of the Cache Valley Historical Society between 1954 and 1956. He was a member of the executive council in the Utah Academy of Sciences, Arts, and Letters. He was the president of the Faculty Association at Utah State University during the 1962-1963 school year. He was the co-founder of the Western Historical Quarterly (the journal of the Western History Association) with Leonard Arrington and became the managing editor of the journal from 1969 to 1979. Ellsworth also served as a member of the board of directors for the American Issues Forum and a member of the executive committee for the Utah Endowment for the Humanities. George Ellsworth received a number of prominent awards during his career in History. In 1959, George Ellsworth was the Faculty Honor Lecturer of the Utah State University Faculty Association. His lecture, "Zion in Paradise: Early Mormons in the South Seas," was published that same year (Logan, Utah: The Faculty Association, Utah State University, 1959). Ellsworth received the Professor of the Year, Utah State University, Robins Award, in 1965. He was awarded the Mormon History Association Book of the Year Award for Utah's Heritage in April 1973. He became a Fellow in the Utah State Historical Society of September 1973. In 1974 Ellsworth was given the Award of Merit by the American Association for State and Local History. He was awarded an Honorary Life Membership in the Western History Association in 1984. In 1990 George Ellsworth received the Distinguished Service Award from Utah State University. During his career, Ellsworth wrote numerous articles, reviews, and encyclopedia entries dealing with LDS and Utah History. In 1972, Ellsworth's textbook Utah's Heritage, a history textbook devoted to Utah History, was published. This textbook became the primary text for seventh-grade study of the S. George Ellsworth papers, 1916-1997 2 http://archiveswest.orbiscascade.org/ark:/80444/xv97897 geography, history, people, and culture of Utah in classrooms across the state. A second edition of the text was published in 1985. Ellsworth also published Dear Ellen: Two Mormon Women and Their Letters in 1974. This book examined the letters of two Mormon women. The first was the first wife of a very prominent Latter-Day Saint leader and polygamist, while the second was the wife of an LDS pioneer who did not practice polygamy. After thirty-one years as a professor at Utah State University, Ellsworth retired in 1983 and began to research and write full-time. He conducted the research for four major projects in the lives of his own ancestors. The first of these projects looked at the Mormon pioneer outposts of Mount Carmel and Orderville in Utah. Ellsworth's grandfather, Samuel Claridge, had been a leader in the United Order at these settlements. His subsequent book, Samuel Claridge: Pioneering the Outposts of Zion (1987), traces the life of his grandfather. After his research on Samuel Claridge, Ellsworth began to collect the papers of two of Maria's ancestors, both of whom were important figures in Mormon missionary history. In 1990, The Journals of Addison Pratt was published. This project was an effort to edit and publish the journals of Addison Pratt, an early Mormon missionary to the Society Islands in the South Pacific. Addison Pratt was the great, great-grandfather of Maria Smith. The History of Louisa Barnes Pratt, was published the year after Ellsworth's death in 1997. In this book Ellsworth once again edited the journals of a family member. Louisa Barnes Pratt was the wife of Addison Pratt and worked with her husband in the Society Islands. She is considered to be the first female Latter-Day Saint missionary. Seasons of Faith and Courage: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in French Polynesia A Sesquicentennial History, 1843-1993 was a joint project with Kathleen C. Perrin and was published in 1994. This book discusses the history of the LDS congregations in French Polynesia. Kathleen C. Perrin served with her husband over the Tahiti Papeete Mission from 1989 to 1992 and has a bachelor's degree in French and the Humanities from Brigham Young University. In addition to his distinguished career as a historian, George Ellsworth played an active role in his callings in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and in his own family. George and

  • 4 Martin Harris
    4 Martin Harris: The Kirtland Years, 1831-1870 Published in Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought 35 (Fall 2002):1-40. Martin Harris is known for being a Book of Mormon scribe, witness, and financier. However, little is known about his activities while living in Kirtland, Ohio, for over thirty-five years. This article will present what is known about Harris during the Kirtland years. Included will be his relationship to other Restoration churches under the leadership of James J. Strang (including Harris's mission to England), William E. McLellin, and so forth. A brief background of Harris's life in New York will also be given to help understand his place in the early life of the church. New York Seeker Martin Harris was born on 18 May 1783 at Eastown, New York. He was a well- established farmer of Palmyra, Ontario (later Wayne) County, New York. Harris at the age of twenty-six, Harris married his cousin Lucy; he was nine years her senior. They had a family of four known children. He became a close associate of Joseph Smith, Jr., whom he assisting financially, and he acted as a scribe to Smith.1 He also financed the publication of the Book of Mormon by mortgaging his farm. As an early convert of Mormonism, he was received into fellowship by baptism on the day the church was organized. Due to the time and resources spent on his new religion, Harris became partially separated from his wife, Lucy. Orsamus Turner, a printer in New York, described Harris thusly: Martin Harris, was a farmer of Palmyra, the owner of a good farm, and an honest worthy citizen; but especially given to religious enthusiasm, new creeds, the more extravagant the better; a monomaniac, in fact.2 Harris resided on Palmyra Road, District 9, from 1808-1822.

  • The Sacrifice of a Mother 33
    Maurine C. Ward: The Sacrifice of a Mother 33 The Sacrifice of a Mother Maurine Carr Ward It has been said that a sacrifice without a price is meaningless. Today, I wish to speak of a mother’s sacrifice. It was in 1836 when the Richards family1 in Richmond, Massachusetts, heard about the restored Church of Christ. Newly converted Brigham Young had introduced the Church to his first cousins. Phinehas, Willard, and Levi Richards, along with their sisters Rhoda, Nancy, and Hepzibah, immediately embraced the new teachings. Their parents and brothers Joseph and William rejected their supposed radical ideas, as did Nancy’s husband and Phinehas’s wife, Wealthy Dewey Richards. Wealthy watched in horror and sorrow as her husband, Phinehas, and her children all became increasingly interested in Mormonism. In an attempt to investigate the Church more fully, Phinehas, Levi, Willard, Hepsy, and Wealthy’s fourteen-year-old son, George Spencer, departed for Kirtland. There, in 1837, Phinehas and George were baptized. That fall, Phinehas returned to the East, carrying the gospel message back to his extended and immediate families, leaving George with Levi and Hepsy. Although Phinehas was able to baptize his three older children and other fami- ly members, his dear wife was still not converted. When the Saints in Kirtland left for Far West, Missouri, young George accompanied Levi and Hepsy, who settled on Shoal Creek. They were part of the thirty or forty LDS families living in covered wagons and tents and a few MAURINE CARR WARD is the editor of the Nauvoo Journal. She also edited the prizewinning biography, Winter Quarters: The 1846-1848 Life Writings of Mary Haskin Parker Richards, the first in a series of writings by frontier women, published by Utah State University Press.

  • The Teachings of Church Leaders Regarding the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ: 1852–2018
    The Teachings of Church Leaders Regarding the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ: 1852–2018 John Hilton III, Emily K. Hyde, and McKenna Grace Trussel rom the beginnings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day FSaints (herein referred to as “the Church”), the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ has been at the heart of its theology. In numerous revelations received by Joseph Smith, the Savior is identified as having been “cru- cified for the sins of the world” (D&C 53:2; see also 21:9, 35:2, 46:13, 54:1, 76:41). President Brigham Young taught that salvation was only “through the name and ministry of Jesus Christ, and the atonement he made on Mount Calvary.”1 President John Taylor said that Christ “was crucified and put to death to atone for the sins of the world.”2 President Wilford Woodruff stated, “The Lord Jesus was crucified on Mount Cal- vary for the sins of the world.”3 And President Lorenzo Snow taught that Christ “sacrificed his life on Mount Calvary for the salvation of the human family.”4 In 1918, President Joseph F. Smith wrote “that redemp- tion had been wrought through the sacrifice of the Son of God upon the cross” (D&C 138:35), and in 1941, President Heber J. Grant testified that Christ “came to this earth with a divine mission to die upon the cross as the Redeemer of mankind, atoning for the sins of the world.”5 In brief, 1.

  • “A Room of Round Logs with a Dirt Roof”: Ute Perkins' Stewardship To
    Eugene H. & Waldo C. Perkins: Ute Perkins Stewardship 61 “A Room of Round Logs with a Dirt Roof”: Ute Perkins’ Stewardship to Look after Mormon Battalion Families Eugene H. Perkins & Waldo C. Perkins On 17 July1846, one day after Captain James Allen had mustered in the Mormon Battalion, U.S. Army of the West, Brigham Young called eighty- nine bishops1 to look after the wives and families of the Mormon Battalion.2 Among the group called were Ute Perkins (1816–1901), a thirty-year-old member of seven years, his uncles, William G. Perkins and John Vance, and his first cousin, Andrew H. Perkins. Until Nauvoo, the Church’s two general bishops, Bishop Newel K. Whitney in Kirtland and Bishop Edward Partridge in Missouri, bore as their major responsibility the challenge to care for the poor and needy. In Nauvoo, in addition to the general bishops, the Church initiated the prac- tice of assigning bishops to aid the poor within Nauvoo’s municipal wards— hence the beginnings of ward bishops. During the trek west, as the calling of these eighty-nine bishops shows, the commitment to calling local bishops to care for small membership groupings was underway and became enough of an established practice that in Utah it became standard Church administra- tive practice—a presiding bishopric at the general level and ward bishops at the local level. Therefore, study of the bishops’ work during the Winter Quarters period deserves historical attention, to which effort the following material contributes.3 Ute Perkins lived in a temporary Mormon encampment called Pleasant Valley, where his father Absalom was the branch president.
