University of Utah officials and members of the John Pack Family Association have broken ground for construction of a replica of the Pack home, once located on the comer of West Temple and and 100 North. Because of its convenient location so near Union Square, the Pack home -- a small adobe house built in 1848 on a quarter-acre lot on the southeast comer of the intersection -- served as Salt Lake's first dance hall, tavern and mercantile store, said Jo Ann Merrill, editor of the John Pack Family Association newsletter distributed monthly to Pack's 2,000 descendants. On Nov. 11, 1850, the U., then known as the University of Deseret, also held its first classes at the home, said Merrill. One of Utah's first settlers, Pack was a member of the small band of pioneers who scouted out the Salt Lake Valley for Brigham Young. Construction of the $200,000 replica, paid for by Pack's descendants, should be completed by next fall. The home will serve as the theme park's main social hall, where receptions, meetings and educational seminars will be held. -- Kirsten Stewart 5115/2001 10:38 AM 1of1 UTAH PRESS ASSOCIATION Clipping Service , _ . : ·. ~ . ~-.. .. : -'·~· · . ...

    The World of Joseph Fielding: Chapter 33 Mary Fielding Smith Warned Not to Travel in 1848 The pioneers of 1848 began to gather at the Elk Horn outfitting station toward the end of May, moving their wagons across the swollen Elkhorn River on ferries and setting up camps on the west side while waiting for the rest of the company to arrive. President Young visited the camp several times on horseback, finally bringing his family members and wagons on the 30th of May. On the morning of May 31st, the river had risen three feet from the previous day as the winter snows melted. Men worked hard the next week ferrying wagons from the east bank to the west bank and encouraging the cattle to swim across. The account of Mary being chastised by Cornelius Lott is legendary in the LDS Church. Joseph Fielding does not mention the incident at all in his Pioneers moving west in 1848 crossed the Elkhorn journal. The bulk of the information comes from the River and camped, waiting for their companies. memory of Mary’s son, who was nine years old at the time. Young Joseph F. stated that he was present when Captain Lott approached Mary at the outfitting station.1 Joseph F. remembered that it had taken his mother and Uncle Fielding’s families three days to travel from Winter Quarters to the outfitting station.2 After arriving and possibly traveling a day to Elder Kimball’s camp, they were approached by Elder Kimball and Captain Lott, the latter appearing to have been supervising the cattle belonging to the second company.3 Joseph F.

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.

Orientalism was defined for the lecture as the assimilation or imitation of that which is oriental in religious or philosophical thought, or in art. Through various mediums, including architectural examples, quotes from Mormons and their detractors, and travel literature, Dr. Francaviglia demonstrates that not only Mormons were compared to Oriental peoples and assigned Oriental traits, but they also actively attributed such traits

  • Berryville From: Utah Place Names
    Berryville from: Utah Place Names BERRYVILLE* (Kane County). See Glendale* below. GLENDALE* (Kane County) is on US-89 in Long Valley along the upper Virgin River. Four miles south is Orderville*. After being settled in 1862 by a party of settlers led by John and William Berry from Kanarraville*, Glendale was named Berryville* as the first settlement in the valley. At that time, Long Valley was called Berry Valley. Of those first settlers, Robert Berry and his wife Isabella were murdered by the Indians, and in 1866 Berryville was abandoned. In 1871, members of the Muddy Mission in Nevada resettled Long Valley. Led by James Leithead, the group settled on the old Berryville townsite and renamed it Glendale because of the beautiful surroundings. Another version of the naming of Glendale states that the name came from their leader and first bishop, who was reminded of his home in Scotland. Today it is a beautiful and stable community known for its scenic surroundings. >S23,T40S,R7W,SLM; 5,824' (1,775m). Bibliography: Jenson, Andrew.

  • Four Brief Histories from the Pioneer Heritage Library
    Four Brief Histories from the Pioneer Heritage Library John Pack, Pioneer 1 Veldon R. Hodgson, 5 Nov 1996 Ancestry, LDS Family History Suite 2, Pioneer Heritage Library Kate B. Carter, Heart Throbs of the West, Vol. 7, pp. 374–378. It was in New York that John Pack first became acquainted with the elders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In the fall of 1833 he outfitted his parents who had already joined the Church and sent them to Kirtland, Ohio. On the eighth of March, 1836 he and his wife were baptized into the Church by James Blakesley. In the early springtime of 1837, he disposed of his farm at Houns-field, and in April of the same year he and his wife moved to Kirtland, Ohio. He purchased a farm on the Chagrin River, not far from Kirtland. At this place he also began the construction of a saw mill, thus fulfilling a desire which he is thought to have entertained from his early youth at Saint John and possibly at Wattertown. In common with other members of the Church, John Pack was not to remain long in Kirtland. In the spring- time of 1838, under pressure of mob violence, he sold his farm at a great loss, and, with his family, including his parents, traveled by team to Missouri, a distance in excess of five hundred miles. They first went to the Far West, then to Adam-ondi-Ahman, and finally to the Grand River, where a farm of one hundred sixty acres was purchased, twenty miles from Far West and thirteen miles from Adam-ondi-Ahman.

  • 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 Legend of Porter Rockwell
    Reviews/115 THE L E G E N D OF P O R T E R ROCKWELL Gustive O. Larson Orrin Porter Rockwell: Man of God, Son of Thunder. By Harold Schindler. Salt Lake City: University of Utah Press, 1966. Pp. 399. Gustive Larson is Associate Professor of Religion and History at Brigham Young University and the author of many books and articles on Utah and the Mormons. He is presently working on the anti-polygamy crusade. The sketches in this review are taken from this exceptionally handsome volume. The artist is Dale Bryner. The history of Mormonism and of early Utah as the two merge after 1847 has customarily featured ecclesiastical and political leaders, leaving others who played significant roles on the fighting front of westward expansion to lurk in historical shadows. Among many such neglected men were Ste- phen Markham, Ephraim Hanks, Howard Egan, and Orrin Porter Rock- well. Of the last much has been writ- ten but, like the vines which cover the sturdy tree, legend has entwined itself so intricately in Rockwell literature as to create a challenging enigma. This challenge has been accepted by Har- old Schindler in his book, Orrin Por- ter Rockwell: Man of God, Son of Thunder. The result has been to bring the rugged gun-man more definitely into view but with much of the legendary still clinging to him. An impressive bibliography reflects thorough research on the part of the author, and absence of discrimination between Mormon and Gentile sources indicates a conscientious effort to be objective. Yet the reader raises an intel- lectual eyebrow when confronted with an over-abundance of irresponsible "testimony" and sensationalism represented by such names as William Daniels, Bill Hickman, Joseph H.
