In March of 1861, call to raise 75,000 troops to conquer the South, Unionists across the country re­ sponded. California's Unionists were no exception, eventually raising a total of 16,000 troops to serve Lincoln. Gen. George Wright wrote Washington about Union sentiment in California, "The Union-loving people of the coast are vastly in the ascendant, their fiat has gone forth, and no secession doctrine can flourish here." Contrary to their wish, the Califor­ nians who enlisted were not sent east to suppress Southern independence. Instead Lincoln kept some in California, sent some into the Southwest, and sent others to the Utah Territory. There were two reasons behind Lincoln's actions: the first was practical and the second political. The practical reason was that keeping the Californians in the West freed up profeSSional army units stationed there to In 1857, local Mormons and Indian allies massacred a wagon train of emigrants heading for go east; professional soldiers would be California.

For­ tunately for the charging troopers, Cap­ tain Samuel Hoyt and a company of infantry had crossed the ravine west of the fighting and soon maneuvered into a position to give covering fire. The battle lasted four hours; 224 Indians were killed, including Bear Hunter. Local Mormons came out to the battlefield to tend the wounded and search for survi­ vors. One of them described the carnage for the Deseret News, "Never will I forget the scene, dead bodies everywhere. I counted eight deep in one place, in sev­ eral places they were three to five deep...." For this victory Connor was pro­ moted to brigadier general; his reputation as an Indian fighter assured.

Since its inception in 1989, the Lindsay Young fund has aided the current research of dozens of humanities faculty and gradu­ ate students and provided a treasure trove for future researchers. The Lindsay Young endowment in 2000 funded the purchase of an array of material. For history, the Library's Civil War holdings were augmented by the ac­ quisition of microfilmed Confederate newspapers and the Braxton Bragg (Con­ federate general) papers. To support the Center for War and Society's efforts to study World War II soldiers, the Library purchased a complete run of Stars and Stripes, the armed forces newspaper. At the request of African and African Ameri­ can faculty, periodicals from black and third-world countries were selected. Mov­ ing further back in time, the acquisition of the complete works of both Martin Bucer and Huldreich Zwingli will enhance our holdings on the Protestant Reformation in Europe. The classics and history faculty re­ quested a highly detailed and illustrated volume on the archaeological excavations of a roman villa and infant cemetery, se­ lected volumes of a large research set on Rome, and back issues of journals covering the ancient near east. To support the varying interests of the English faculty, the Lindsay Young endowment was used to purchase the mi­ crofilmed papers of Emma Goldman, early feminist, collected commentaries on Pierre Bourdieu, prominent sociologist, Library benefactor Lindsay Young.

20 As Americans have given to various charitable efforts over the years, they have created many national treasures avail­ able to all. Many of these resources would never have been possible with government support alone. Virtually all of the truly great libraries have been made great through gifts from individuals. We are most grateful to the following who have generously supported the UT Libraries during the 1999-00 fiscal year.
