Zhizn' Mormonov v Uta; ili Tainstva i prestupleniia Mormonizma; izlozhenie tainikh obriadov i tseremonii sviatikh posldnikh dnei [Life in Utah; or, the mysteries and crimes of Mormonism]. Sanktpeterburg [Saint Petersburg, RUS]: Tip. M. Khana, 1872. First Edition in Russian. 415pp. Octavo [25 cm] Original 3/4 calf over blacked pebbled boards. Minor sporadic foxing throughout otherwise near fine. Title translates to: 'The life of the Mormons in Utah; or the Sacraments and Crimes of Mormonism.' Rare Russian imprint of Beadle's screed against Mormonism. We locate two institutional copies (LoC - LDSCHL). This is one of only two books in Russian listed in Flake/Draper and the only dedicated solely to the LDS Church (the other title: 'Puteshestvie po Amerike V 1869–1870,' is a travel narrative that includes ten pages devoted to Salt Lake City and the LDS Church). So, few copies of this work have surfaced, we assume that the print run was small. That this title was translated into Russian (only two years after the American first), shows the fascination that Utah held to the outside world. Flaker/Draper 348d. Rare. John Hanson Beadle(1840-1897), was a journalist and author who was born in Liberty township, Parke County, Indiana. As a youth of twenty-one he enlisted in the 31st Indiana infantry for the Civil War, serving as a private until 1862, when he was discharged for disability. He then entered the State University of Michigan, where he studied law in addition to his regular subjects, and was graduated in 1867. He was admitted to the bar, but after practicing in Evansville, Indiana for one year, abandoned that profession for the career of a journalist. His first newspaper work was done for the Cincinnati Commercial, following which he spent eight years in the far West, the first year as editor of the Salt Lake Reporter. His Life in Utah, Western Wilds and the Men Who Redeem Them, and The Undeveloped West are the results of his experiences in the western states. In the latter years of his life he wrote editorials and historical and political articles for the American Press Association. Subsequently he made an extended tour of Canada and Nova Scotia and in 1890, through Europe. "John Hanson Beadle, though equally as serious as Kate [Field] on the Mormon question, was a clever and popular journalist. His caustic remarks about the pretensions of Western communities, his savage wit in describing Western personalities, his remorseless judgments of Western boosters remind one of the late H. L. Mencken. As with Mencken, Beadle's humor, at least on matters about which he felt keenly, was an instrument of ridicule and derision. He was a master of caricature - the deliberate exaggeration of defective qualities and characteristics in order to convey an image of absurdity and ludicrousness. Just as Mencken's "The Hills of Zion" and "The Sahara of the Bozart" were intended to produce profane laughter at the pretensions of the Bible Belt, Beadle's anti-Mormon columns and books were a veritable bastion of hyperbole, designed to quash any incipient admiration for Mormon industry, sobriety, and brotherly love." - Leonard Arrington. $2,500 Only Located Copy 2- [LDS] [Mormon] [Cantonese].

  • Utah Under Glass an Introduction to Four Prominent Pioneer Photographers of 19Th-Century Utah
    Utah Under Glass An Introduction to Four Prominent Pioneer Photographers of 19th-century Utah Charles W. Carter Salt Lake City was the heart of the Mormon colonies, and no one recorded its growth as regularly and helpfully as did Charles William Car- ter, who took many different views of the city over several decades. But his panoramic work was not his bread and butter: like other photographers, he was a professional, which meant doing hack work on demand. And yet he managed to assemble an extensive and valuable library of photographs from 1859, when he arrived in Salt Lake, to 1906, when he sold his negative collection to the Bureau of Information of the Church for the sum of $400.00, to be paid in monthly installments of $25.00. Carter was born in London on 4 August 1832. During the Crimean War he served in the British Army, achieving the rank of sergeant in the 165th regiment.
