U I ,·\H INTRODUCTION During the nineteenth-century, almost 85,000 Mormon emigrants crossed the oceans to America. Motivated by the doctrine of gathering, they were drawn to the Great Basin in droves. The missionaries who converted them also accompanied them on their ocean voyages and across the continent. While compiling a source guide to Mormon pioneer companies crossing the plains, we realized that a source guide to ocean narratives might also be valued by family researchers and historians. Past experience in providing reference assistance to researchers and historians di eta ted the focus of this source guide. Na r ra ti ves of ocean travel and shipboard life of Mormon emigrants and missionaries found in published and unpublished letters, reports, and journals were included. These were further limited to primary accounts of voyages across the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean to America. Accounts of voyages in large organized companies, small groups, or single Mormon individuals were included. Accounts of the ocean travels of Mormons departing from American ports to other countries were not included in this guide.

    A History of Beaver County, Utah Centennial County History Series

    A HISTORY OF 'Beaver County Martha Sonntag Bradley UTAH CENTENNIAL COUNTY HISTORY SERIES A HISTORY OF 'Beaver County Martha Sonntag Bradley The settlement of Beaver County began in February 1856 when fifteen families from Parowan moved by wagon thirty miles north to Beaver Valley. The county was created by the Utah legislature on 31 January 1856, a week before the Parowan group set out to make their new home. However, centuries before, prehistoric peoples lived in the area, obtaining obsidian for arrow and spear points from the Mineral Mountains. Later, the area became home to Paiute Indians. Franciscan Friars Dominguez and Escalante passed through the area in October 1776. The Mormon settlement of Beaver devel­ oped at the foot of the Tushar Mountains. In 1859 the community of Minersville was es­ tablished, and residents farmed, raised live­ stock, and mined the lead deposits there. In the last quarter of the nineteenth century the Mineral Mountains and other locations in the county saw extensive mining develop­ ment, particularly in the towns of Frisco and Newhouse. Mining activities were given a boost with the completion of the Utah South­ ern Railroad to Milford in 1880. The birth­ place of both famous western outlaw Butch Cassidy and inventor of television Philo T. Farnsworth, Beaver County is rich in history, historic buildings, and mineral treasures.

  • The Chronology of the Mormon Battalion

    The Chronology of the Mormon Battalion

    The Chronology of the Mormon Battalion A TIMELINE OF EVENTS SURROUNDING THE MARCH OF THE MORMON BATTALION Most students of Mormon history will recall that the story of the Mormon Battalion began during the early days of the Saints’ westward trek to the Rocky Mountains. Many will also associate the end of the Battalion’s march across the Southwest to California with the discovery of gold at Sutter’s Mill. However, the events leading up to the Mexican War and the dramatic results of that war on the history and geography of the United States are probably less well remembered. This chronology presents a combined timeline of LDS Church history, US history, the Mexican War, the march of the Mormon Battalion, and includes significant events following the mustering out of Battalion members. 1821 August 24 Mexico becomes independent of Spain after more than ten years of civil war. At the time, Mexico claims most of the western third of what would eventually be the continental United States, although it was sparsely settled except by Native Americans. The northern Mexican territories include Texas, Nuevo Mexico (New Mexico) and Alta California (Upper California). 1830 April 6 The Church of Jesus Christ is organized by Joseph Smith at Fayette, New York. 1836 March 2 Texas declares independence from Mexico, the result of an increasing number of American settlers who resent centralized control by the Mexican government. After several defeats at the hands of the Mexican Army, led by General Santa Anna, Sam Houston leads a surprise attack by the inexperienced Texian army against the Mexican army at San Jacinto, scoring a dramatic victory and capturing Santa Anna.

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.

  • The Sequel to the Roberts/Smith/Talmage Affair

    The Sequel to the Roberts/Smith/Talmage Affair

    DISCUSSION CONTINUED: THE SEQUEL TO THE ROBERTS/SMITH/TALMAGE AFFAIR JEFFREY E. KELLER FEW CHAPTERS IN twentieth-century Mormon thought are more thought-pro- voking than the events following B. H. Roberts' efforts to publish what he considered his greatest work, that synthesis of science and religion, The Truth, the Way, the Life. Much of this story, which involved the principal molders of modern church orthodoxy, is now well known through the fine recent study by Richard Sherlock, " 'We Can See No Advantage to a Continuation of the Discussion: The Roberts/Smith/Talmage Affair."1 Newly uncovered materials, however, offer a new dimension to our understanding of this significant episode. These come in large measure from the papers of the son of one of the principals in the controversy—Sterling Talmage, who was almost in the center of things from the start. When B. H. Roberts submitted his magnum opus in 1929, a publication committee composed of five members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles was assigned to read the manuscript and make recommendations.
