  • The Kirtland Economy Revisited: a Market Critique of Sectarian Economics
    The Kirtland Economy Revisited: A Market Critique of Sectarian Economics Marvin S. Hill, C. Keith Rooker, and Larry T. Wimmer Acknowledgements Our indebtedness to others is unusually great. In addition to those who have read, criticized, and helped improve our manuscript, we have received suggestions which could have resulted in articles for the authors themselves but for their unselfish contributions to our work. In a real sense, this study is the result of a group effort beyond the three authors listed. Questions raised by Mr. Paul Sampson while working on a graduate history paper provided the immediate impetus for the study. He also generously provided us with all of his notes and bibliographic work. Initial encouragement and the financial support was provided by Professors Leonard J. Arrington and Thomas G. Alexander, direc- tors of the Charles Redd Center for Western Studies at Brigham Young University. Our two research assistants, Michael Cleverley and Maureen Arce- neaux, were extraordinarily helpful. Not only did they perform the bur- densome task of gathering and manipulating an enormous amount of data with great skill, but they also made several suggestions which led to innovative and fruitful areas of research. For example, the procedure used to estimate annual population from a combination of census and annual tax records was suggested by Mr. Cleverley. Professor Peter Crawley of the Mathematics Department at Brigham Young University suggested the procedure used to estimate the circula- tion of Kirtland notes, provided us with lists of serial numbers for those notes which he has collected over the years, and made other helpful suggestions regarding the bank.

  • Seagull Monument Salt Lake City, Utah, USA the Seagull Monument Located on Temple Square, Is a Tribute to the History Behind the State Bird of Utah
    Seagull Monument Salt Lake City, Utah, USA The Seagull Monument located on Temple Square, is a tribute to the history behind the state bird of Utah. After the pioneers arrived in the Salt Lake Valley in the summer of 1847, the next win- ter was a mild one. The early settlers planted crops early and were looking forward to the harvest. However, after planting approximately 900 acres of wheat, a “great numbers of large, black crick- ets...came swarming from the foothills literally by millions.”1 Attempts to drown, burn, bury and club the infestation were unsuccessful. The Saints pled to the Lord to deliver them from the plague of crickets, which some likened unto Egypt’s curse of locusts. On June 9th, great fl ocks of seagulls from the Great Salt Lake descended upon the crickets and fed upon them for over three weeks, saving the crops. George W. Bean wrote: “They would come by thousands and gobble up those great fat crickets that were as large as man’s thumb, until they would get about a pint, seemingly, then they would adjourn to the water ditch, take a drink and throw up all their crickets – rest themselves a little, TheThe Seagull MonumentMonument then back to slaying the black ‘monsters’ again.”2 Photo courtesy of Derek J.

  • Martin Harris: the Kirtland Years, 18314870
    Martin Harris: The Kirtland Years, 18314870 H. Michael Marquardt 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 re- lationship 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. 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 assisted finan- cially, 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 re- ligion, 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 1.

Welch mong the many good reasons to go to Copenhagen, Denmark, is to A experience firsthand the famous Christus statue by Bertel Thor- valdsen (1770–1844) in the Vor Frue Kirke (The Church of Our Lady), the Lutheran Cathedral of Copenhagen. While this classic sculpture of Christ, in stunning white Carrara marble, would be impressive in any setting, it is especially meaningful and emotive in its original architec- tural setting.1 Many circumstances providentially welcomed the Apostle Erastus Snow when he and three other missionaries arrived in 1849 in Copen- hagen, the first missionaries of the Restoration to set foot on the con- tinent of Europe.2 Most significantly, only months before their arrival, the Danish constitution had been adopted,3 containing one of the most progressive provisions guaranteeing religious liberty ever to be adopted. This significant constitutional development was the first in the world to follow the Constitution of the United States, fulfilling a hope expressed 1.
