Northern Utah was in many ways a Crossroads long before the emigrants, settlers, railroad and military came here. As early as pre-Fremont Native Americans, we find evidence of trails and trade routes across this geographic area. The trappers and traders, both English and American, knew the area and crisscrossed it following many of the Native American trails. They also established new routes. Explorers sought additional routes to avoid natural barriers such as the mountains and the Great Salt Lake. As emigrants and settlers traveled west, knowledge of the area spread. The Crossroads designation was permanently established once the Railroad spanned the nation.

Warren Metcalf, Chair ______________________________ Dr. Rachel Shelden ______________________________ Dr. Sterling Evans © Copyright by JOHN E. BAUCOM 2016 All Rights Reserved. To my encouraging study-buddy, Heather ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: First, I would like to thank the Mountain Meadows Monument Foundation. Specifically Dr. Burr Fancher, Diann Fancher, and Ron Wright. The MMMF is largely comprised of the descendants of the seventeen young children that survived the massacre. Their personal support and feedback have proven to be an invaluable resource. I wish them success in their continued efforts to honor the victims of the massacre and in their commitment to guarantee unrestricted access to the privately owned massacre site. I’m grateful for the MMMF’s courage and reverence for their ancestors, along with their efforts in bringing greater awareness to the Mountain Meadows Massacre. I must also acknowledge the many helpful archivists that I’ve met along the way. Their individual expertise, patience, and general support have greatly influenced this project. The Mountain Meadows Massacre is no trivial or unfamiliar topic in the quiet corridors of Utah’s archives. And rather than rolling their eyes at yet another ambitious inquiry into massacre, many were quick to point me in new directions.

The previous summer, Allied Armies, under Dwight D. Eisenhower, landed in Normandy and began driving toward the Fatherland. The Red Army had been pushing west toward Berlin since its victory over the final German offensive at the Battle of Kursk in August 1943. On April 30, Hitler committed suicide in his bunker, and Germany surrendered seven days later. War continued on the other side of the globe.

    St. George Tabernacle, photograph courtesy Intellectual Reserve. Landon: The History of the St. George Tabernacle 125 “A Shrine to the Whole Church”: The History of the St. George Tabernacle Michael N. Landon At least as early as 1862, Brigham Young directed Latter-day Saint lead- ers in St. George to construct a tabernacle, a building designed not only for church services, but which also would serve as a social and cultural center for the entire community. In a letter to Mormon Apostle Erastus Snow, Brigham Young clearly noted that the tabernacle would represent more than a place of worship: As I have already informed you, I wish you and the brethren to build, as speedily as possible, a good substantial, commodious, well finished meeting house, one large enough to comfortably seat at least 2000 persons and that will be not only useful but also an ornament to your city and a credit to your energy and enterprise. I hereby place at your disposal, expressly to aid in building the aforesaid meeting-house, the labor, molasses, vegetable and grain tithing of Cedar City and of all places and persons south of that city. I hope you will begin the building at the earliest practicable date; and be able with the aid herein given to speedily prosecute the work to completion.1 Brigham Young’s efforts to encourage Latter-day Saints to settle in St. George, indeed in all of southern Utah, had met with mixed results. Even George A. Smith, his longtime friend and counselor in the First Presidency, once described the area as “the most wretched, barren, God-forsaken country in the world.”2 In his letter to Snow, Brigham Young implied that a substantial meeting place would give the St.

  • Robert Clifton Family: Saints of the Martin Handcart Company
    Robert Clifton Family: Saints of the Martin Handcart Company Kyle S. Anderson In my 30 plus visits to Martin’s Cove and the surrounding region that stands as a historical witness to the faith and fortitude of the Martin and Willie Handcart Companies along with the Hunt and Hodgett Wagon Companies, not a trip goes by that I do not think about my responsibility to write what I have come to understand about my ancestors who were participants in the Martin Handcart Company. Although there is not a lot written by or about the Robert Clifton family I believe that there is more information out there yet to be discovered and hope this will be the beginning of a much larger story to be written at a later time. Robert Clifton was born 3 March 1805 in Attleborough, Norfolk, England and married on 16 July 1832 to Mary Matilda Blanchard who was born 30 November 1811 in London, Middlesex, England. The complete story of the number of children Robert and Mary had is not fully accounted for, as the family records are incomplete with this information. For our purposes we will focus on the three children that we know traveled with them in the Martin Handcart Company, Rebecca (21), Sophia (12) and Ann (turned 7 on the trail). 1 Although the details are minimal and the sources in family search need to be verified, Robert and Mary accepted baptism into the restored church between the years 1841 and 1844. The individual reported to have baptized Robert was a man by the name James Albion and the person reported to have baptized Mary was none other than Lorenzo Snow.

    Book Reviews 193 Book Reviews PATRICK Q. MASON, The Mormon Menace: Violence and Anti-Mormon- ism in the Postbellum South. (New York: Oxford University Press, 2011, xi + 252 pp., charts, photographs, index, $29.95 hardback.) Reviewed by Beth Barton Schweiger Patrick Q. Mason has written an impor- tant book that cracks open a fresh topic for historians, who have barely touched the subject of Mormon missions in the South, much less the difficult question of anti- Mormon violence. Yet Mason’s ambitions reach beyond the region; he intends his book, which is “less about the experience of Mormons in the South than the reaction of southerners to their presence” (11), as a case study that will illuminate the vexing question of religious violence in American history and beyond. The signal contribution of the book is to recover the story of the Mormon missions in the Southern States. For this, Mason relies mainly on the Southern States Mission Manuscript History in the LDS Archives in Salt Lake City, which has languished virtually untouched by scholars. The manuscript offers a wealth of sources, including newspaper clippings, diaries, letters, and photographs which document in detail the numbers of missionaries and geographical reach of the missions, and accounts of anti-Mormon violence from eye-witnesses. Mason’s work focuses on the roughly the half century between 1852 and 1904—the period when Mormons openly practiced plural marriage. Mormon missions in the Southern States began soon after Mormonism’s founding in 1830 and encompassed the region. Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia were the focus of the work, but missionaries also worked in the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi.

  • Professional Writing Section (Prepared by Michelle Ganz, Alison Stankrauff, and Rebecca Hankins)
    Agenda Item III.A. Society of American Archivists Council Conference Call February 11, 2019 1:00 – 2:00 pm EST Petition to Form Professional Writing Section (Prepared by Michelle Ganz, Alison Stankrauff, and Rebecca Hankins) BACKGROUND To request the Council’s approval for a new section: The Professional Writing Section. Purpose of Section: To support the SAA Strategic Goal 3.3 of enhancing professional knowledge through partnerships and collaboration and Strategic Goal 4: Meeting Members’ Needs. To create an environment conducive to supporting new and novice writers through the professional publishing process. To connect the SAA Publications Board with interested writers. To connect regional archival publications with interested writers. To seek out and provide specialized support for marginalized voices. Need for the Section: There is currently no regular/centralized place for new or novice writers to connect with people in a similar situation and more seasoned writers for support and counsel. The new section would allow for easy access to peer reviewers, co-authors, and a single clearinghouse of resources currently located in sections like SNAP, the American Archivist portal, and randomly across the SAA website. Currently the only way to learn how the process works is to reach out to an individual publisher or editor for guidance. The new section would bring those publishers, editors, seasoned professionals, and interested parties together in one spot for ongoing support. To help writers navigate the process of “selling” an article to a publication. New professionals need help transitioning from writing papers for school to writing professionally. This new section can provide ongoing support as each new cohort of professionals leave school and join the field.
