Mormon Colonization of San Bernardino
http://www.covalt.org/mormon.HTM Mormon Colonization of San Bernardino First of all I like to thank The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints' (referred to as "LDS" and "Mormon" in the rest of this paper) Historical Department. They opened their doors to me, allowing me to view records in their archives. They have an extensive collection of information relating to the Mormon settlement of San Bernardino. I had thought 5 days would be more than enough time to research what I wanted, but of course my research led to more questions and research data. Someday I'll head back for some more intensive researching there. I liberally took much out of the thesis by Joseph Wood ("The Mormon Settlement in San Bernardino 1851-1857"), the dissertation by Eugene Edward Campbell ("A History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints"), and a essay by Edward Leo Lyman ("The Rise and Decline of Mormon San Bernardino). These three works motivated me to expand my research further. If you are really into this subject, I suggest you purchase the book "San Bernardino. The Rise and Fall of a California Community" by Edward Leo Lyman (published 1996, Signature Books). I enjoyed the book immensely. You can order it online at Amazon books or Barnes and Noble. I apologize for any grammatical and/or spelling mistakes. If you find any, please inform me so I can correct them. Here is an article about the settlement of Rialto (a community in San Bernardino). Loma Linda (Ca) 3rd Graders study about the history of their community (which includes this settlement). -

Bassett August 1966 PREFACE This field project had its beginning in an assignment given to the author in 1964. During the spring of that year he was commissioned by the seminary department of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints1 to formulate a lesson plan for use in teaching a seminary course of study entitled "Church History and Doctrine." As will be shown later, the need for textual material dealing with the history of Mormonism2 from 1877 to the present arose during the writing of that lesson outline. -

Joseph Smith's Plural Wives After the Martyrdom
Hales: Joseph Smith’s Wives after the Martyrdom 55 Joseph Smith’s Plural Wives after the Martyrdom Brian C. Hales Go thou loved one God is with thee He will be thy stay & shield And fulfill each precious promice Which his spirit has revealed. Guardian angels will protect thee And the Spirit’s still small voice, Will from day to day direct thee, Therefore let thy heart rejoice. O my Father! thou that dwelleth In the upper courts of light; Open thou the way before her— Guide, O guide her feet aright.1 Several major studies have been published examining Joseph Smith’s polygamous wives.2 My research supports that he was sealed to thirty-five plural spouses.3 This article examines briefly their later reactions to their plural involvement with the Prophet and addresses the following questions: What percentage kept the faith he taught? How many later left the Church and the Latter-day Saints? During the passing years, did any look back and consider his Nauvoo behavior improper or inappropriate? BRI A N C.

Some of them even joined forces with Mormon haters to harass the faithful Saints. The apostates were so mean-spirited that they forced the steadfast members of the Church in Ohio to flee to Missouri in order to escape persecution. This chapter will discuss the events that led to this apostasy. It will also give an account of the members’ mass exodus to Missouri, with special emphasis on their travels along the Mormon thoroughfare of Illinois. The Road to Apostasy The historic background to the “Great Apostasy” in Ohio began soon after the Saints completed construction of the Kirtland Temple in the spring of 1836. At that time, many members turned their attention to improving their Thoroughfare 6.qxp 11/20/2006 11:17 AM Page 80 Marlene C. -

Eyes are drawn across the brook-carved val- ley toward the Holy Mount where the temple stood in antiquity. Reflecting upon sacred events that unfolded in the Holy City is the natural result of standing on the Mount of Olives, particularly certain events in the life of Jesus and the ministries of Melchizedek, Abraham, Isaac, Isaiah, Lehi, Jeremiah, Peter, and Paul. And as a result of Orson Hyde’s ascent up the Mount to dedicate Palestine, Latter-day Saints include him in this select group. -
