Timpanogos River from: Utah Place Names TIMPANOGOS RIVER (Utah County). See Provo River below. PROVO RIVER (Utah County, Wasatch County) originates at Washington Lake in the west Uinta Mountains. It drains southwest into Utah Lake. The river had the early name of Timpanogotzis (Tumpanowach) for the Indians living along its banks. The early white settlers decided to name the river after Proveau and transfer the old name to the mountain to the north, which became Mount Timpanogos. See Provo* (Utah County) below. PROVO* (Utah County) is on I-15, forty-five miles south of Salt Lake City*. It was founded in 1850 as Fort Utah* in honor of the Ute Indians who inhabited the region. The name was changed to Fort Provo* for the well-known French-Canadian trapper, Etienne Proveau (Provost, Provot, Provaux, etc.), who first arrived in 1825. Proveau and his men had an altercation with the local Indians under Bad Gocha and several whites and Indians were killed. This incident led to the area being called Proveau's Hole and to the city eventually being named Provo. >T6,7S,R2,3E,SLM; 4,549' (1,387m). Bibliography: Bancroft, Hubert Howe.

An asterisk (*) following a place name indicates past or present inhabitation. 2. When a series of letters and numbers are present towards the end of an entry after the ">" symbol, the first group indicates section/township/range as closely as can be pinpointed (i.e., S12,T3S,R4W,SLM, or USM). A section equals approximately one square mile, reflecting U.S. Geological Survey topographic map sections. Because Utah is not completely mapped, some entries are incomplete. In this case, whatever information is available will be provided. The second group, when present, is altitude in feet followed by meters in parentheses [i.e., 6,000' (1,829m)]. Altitude is not included with canyons or deserts with varying altitudes. _____________________________________________________________________ SOURCE... Utah Place Names.

Zeh, Ph.D., Dean, Graduate School December 2019 i Abstract B. H. Roberts presented information to the leadership of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in January of 1922 that fundamentally challenged the entire premise of their religious beliefs. New research shows that in addition to church leadership, this information was also presented during the neXt few months to a select group of highly educated Mormon men and women outside of church hierarchy. This group represented many aspects of Mormon belief, different areas of eXpertise, and varying approaches to dealing with challenging information. Their stories create a beautiful tapestry of Mormon life in the transition years from polygamy, frontier life, and resistance to statehood, assimilation, and respectability. A study of the people involved illuminates an important, overlooked, underappreciated, and eXciting period of Mormon history.

The Frontiers of American Grand Strategy: Settlers, Elites, and the Standing Army in America’S Indian Wars
THE FRONTIERS OF AMERICAN GRAND STRATEGY: SETTLERS, ELITES, AND THE STANDING ARMY IN AMERICA’S INDIAN WARS A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Government By Andrew Alden Szarejko, M.A. Washington, D.C. August 11, 2020 Copyright 2020 by Andrew Alden Szarejko All Rights Reserved ii THE FRONTIERS OF AMERICAN GRAND STRATEGY: SETTLERS, ELITES, AND THE STANDING ARMY IN AMERICA’S INDIAN WARS Andrew Alden Szarejko, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Andrew O. Bennett, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Much work on U.S. grand strategy focuses on the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. If the United States did have a grand strategy before that, IR scholars often pay little attention to it, and when they do, they rarely agree on how best to characterize it. I show that federal political elites generally wanted to expand the territorial reach of the United States and its relative power, but they sought to expand while avoiding war with European powers and Native nations alike. I focus on U.S. wars with Native nations to show how domestic conditions created a disjuncture between the principles and practice of this grand strategy. Indeed, in many of America’s so- called Indian Wars, U.S. settlers were the ones to initiate conflict, and they eventually brought federal officials into wars that the elites would have preferred to avoid. I develop an explanation for settler success and failure in doing so. I focus on the ways that settlers’ two faits accomplis— the act of settling on disputed territory without authorization and the act of initiating violent conflict with Native nations—affected federal decision-making by putting pressure on speculators and local elites to lobby federal officials for military intervention, by causing federal officials to fear that settlers would create their own states or ally with foreign powers, and by eroding the credibility of U.S.

HISTORY of Wasatch County
A HISTORY OF = 'Wasatch County Jessie L. Embry UTAH CENTENNIAL COUNTY HISTORY SERIES A HISTORY OF Wasatch County Jessie L. Embry Native Americans used Wasatch County for hunting and gathering activities, but prob ably no permanent settlers lived in the area until the Mormons arrived in 1859. They established communities following Joseph Smith's Plat of the City of Zion. Rather than living on isolated homesteads, they lived in towns and set up their farms surrounding the villages. The harsh weather and distant water sources of the region also encouraged coop eration. The area became known for its dair ies and cattle and sheep industries. But while the towns in Wasatch County started as typical Mormon villages, they have become more dependent on outside eco nomic forces. The state and federal govern ments have developed many of the county's natural resources, but they generally are used outside the area. The county includes much of the Uinta and parts of the Wasatch and Ashley national forests and boasts three res ervoirs: Strawberry (1910), Deer Creek (1946), and Jordanelle (1995); however, the stored water is used elsewhere. Wasatch County's history is the story of a transition from independent Mormon villages to de pendent colonies and bedroom communi ties of larger population centers.

Wimmer All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT The Walker War Reconsidered Ryan E. Wimmer Department of History Master of Arts In July of 1853, Chief Wakara’s band of Utes clashed in a series of violent confrontations with the Mormon settlers. This conflict is known as the Walker War. Many complex factors contributed to this war. After some earlier violence between Mormons and different bands of Utes between 1847 and 1851, the Mormons continued their quick expansion settling on Ute lands. From 1851 to 1853 Mormon and Ute relations continued to decline as Mormons expanded their settlements occupying Ute hunting grounds. In addition to these land encroachments, new laws were enacted regulating trade between the Spanish and Utes by Brigham Young.
