Alexander As president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Utah’s first territorial governor, Brigham Young (1801–77) shaped a religion, a migration, and the American West. He led the Saints to Utah, guided the establishment of 350 settlements, and inspired the Mormons as they weathered unimaginable trials and hardships. Although he generally succeeded, some decisions, especially those regarding the Mormon Reformation and the Black Hawk War, were less than sound. In this new biography, historian Thomas G. Alexander draws on a lifetime of research to provide an evenhanded view of Young and his leadership. Following the murder in 1844 of church founder Joseph Smith, Young bore a heavy responsibility: ensuring the survival and expansion of the church and its people. Alexander focuses on Young’s leadership, his financial dealings, his relations with VOLUME 31 IN THE OKLAHOMA non-Mormons, his families, and his own deep religious faith. Brigham Young and WESTERN BIOGRAPHIES the Expansion of the Mormon Faith addresses such controversial issues as the practice of polygamy (Young himself had fifty-five wives), relations and conflicts MAY between Mormons and Indians, and the circumstances and aftermath of the horrific $29.95 CLOTH 978-0-8061-6277-5 344 PAGES, 5.5 X 8.5 events of Mountain Meadows in 1857. Although Young might have done better, 28 B&W ILLUS., 3 MAPS Alexander argues that he bore no direct responsibility for the tragedy. BIOGRAPHY/U.S. HISTORY Young relied on the counsel of his associates, and at times, the Mormon people Of Related Interest pushed back to prevent him from implementing changes. In some cases, such as the doctrine of blood atonement, the church leadership eventually rejected his views. Yet on the whole, Brigham Young emerges as a multifaceted human figure, and as a prophet revered by millions of LDS members, an inspired leader who successfully led his people to a distant land where their community expanded and flourished.

Alexander is Lemuel Hardison Redd Jr. Professor Emeritus of Western THE MOUNTAIN MEADOWS MASSACRE American History at Brigham Young University and the author of numerous articles By Juanita Brooks and books on Mormon history and the American West, including Mormonism in $19.95 Paper 978-0-8061-2318-9 Transition: A History of the Latter-day Saints, 1890–1930 and Things in Heaven MORMONS AT THE MISSOURI Winter Quarters, 1846–1852 and Earth: The Life and Times of Wilford Woodruff, a Mormon Prophet.

Cervantez Foreword by Bob Ray Sanders Raised in a one-room log cabin in a small North Texas town, Amon G. Carter (1879–1955) rose to become the founder and publisher of the Fort Worth Star- Telegram, a seat of power from which he relentlessly promoted the city of Fort Worth, amassed a fortune, and established himself as the quintessential Texan of his era. The first in-depth, scholarly biography of this outsize character and civic booster, Amon Carter: A Lone Star Life chronicles a remarkable life and places it in the larger context of state and nation. Though best known for the Star-Telegram, Carter also established WBAP, Fort Worth’s first radio station, which in 1948 became the first television station in the Southwest. He was responsible for bringing the headquarters of what would MARCH become American Airlines to Fort Worth and for securing government funding $29.95 CLOTH 978-0-8061-6198-3 272 PAGES, 6 X 9 for a local aircraft factory that evolved into Lockheed Martin.

Cervantez has drawn on Texas Christian University’s rich collection of Carter BIOGRAPHY/U.S. HISTORY papers to chart Carter’s quest to bring business and government projects to his adopted hometown, enterprises that led to friendships with prominent national Of Related Interest figures such as Franklin D. Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Will Rogers, H. L. Mencken, and John Nance Garner. After making millions of dollars in the oil business, Carter used his wealth to fund schools, hospitals, museums, churches, parks, and camps.

They began using handcarts, thus initiating a five-year experiment that has become a legend in the annals of Mormon and North American migration. Only one in ten Mormon emigrants used handcarts, but of those 3,000 who did between 1856 and 1860, most survived the harrowing journey to settle Utah and become members of a remarkable pioneer generation. Others were not so lucky. More than 200 died along the way, victims of exhaustion, accident, and, for a few, starvation and exposure to late-season Wyoming blizzards. Now, Candy Moulton tells of their successes, travails, and tragedies in an epic retelling of a legendary story. The Mormon Handcart Migration traces each stage of the journey, from the transatlantic voyage of newly converted church members to the gathering of the APRIL faithful in the eastern Nebraska encampment known as Winter Quarters.

Driven by the rivalry between modern warfare and militia tradition, the role as well as the ideology of the militia institution fitfully progressed beyond its seventeenth century origins. Ohio’s militia, the third largest in the country at the time, strove to modernize while preserving its relevance. Like many states in the early republic, Ohio’s militia started out as a sporadic group of reluctant citizens with little military competency. The War of the Rebellion exposed the serious flaws in the militia system, but also demonstrated why armed citizen-soldiers were necessary to the defense of the state. After the war ended, the militia struggled, but developed into a capable military organization through state-imposed reform.

  • Indiana Magaz Ine of History Volumelvii Septemeer1961 Number3
    INDIANA MAGAZ INE OF HISTORY VOLUMELVII SEPTEMEER1961 NUMBER3 The Impact of the Civil War on Indiana John D. Barnhart* The Civil War was the greatest challenge Indiana's democratic government had met. The war affected all of the citizens of the state, penetrated their vital social relations, and threatened their necessary and cherished organizations. The way the people met that challenge constitutes much of the history of the war years in Indiana. That all patriots yield obedience to the voice of the people when expressed in a constitutional manner and that all citizens unite in preserving the Union and the Constitution was the message of Abraham Lincoln to the people of Indiana as he journeyed from Springfield, Illinois, to Washington, D.C., for his inauguration as president of the United States. The next day, February 12, 1861, his fifty-second birthday, he was escorted to the railway station where he entrained for Cincinnati. Lincoln's Indianapolis appearance and speech were the subject of favorable comment by the Republican Daily Journal, but the Democratic Daily Sentinel declared him to be a theorist, a dreamer, and an impractical man who lacked the will and purpose to be a leader.' The attack upon Fort Sumter, April 12, 1561, stunned the people of Indiana and its sister states.2 When the news * The Indiana Civil War Centennial Commission requested publica- tion of the author's two chapters on the Civil War originally included in John D. Barnhart and Donald F. Carmony, Indiana: From F,rontier to Industrial Commonwealth (4 vols., New York, 1954). In preparing the chapters for this purpose they were combined into one, and some revision in style was attempted.

By using the Plains Indian Wars as a case study, a critique can be made of theories which inform predictive models and genocide policy. This thesis analyzes newspaper articles, histories, congressional investigations, presidential speeches, and administrative policies surrounding the four primary massacres perpetrated by the United States during this time. An ideology of racial superiority and fears of insecurity, impurity, and insurgency drove the actions of the white settler-colonialists and their military counterparts.
