Rare Book Catalogue #21 Part 3 BACK OF BEYOND BOOKS RARE BOOK CATALOGUE NO. 21 WESTERN AMERICANA • PART THREE 1 RARE BOOK CATALOGUE NO. 21 Dear Friends and Colleagues, Part three • Fall 2019 Thank you for taking the time to view Back of Beyond Books’ Rare Book Catalogue 21. Unlike past issues, catalogue 21 is e-format only, much to my sadness. I love traditionally printed catalogues but costs continue to rise and given that this catalogue features only material of the American West, our audience may be smaller than for past more varied catalogues. Because it is digital, we’re splitting its release over three weeks so you can easily absorb the content. We’ve pared the catalogue to around 176 items. I also insisted that the catalogue be ‘published’ before Sophie Tomkiewicz left our fair town for the forests and hills of North Carolina. All of us at Back of Beyond Books will miss Sophie’s good cheer and attitude. I selfishly mourn that my best-ever 83 North Main Street • Moab, UT 84532 cataloguer is leaving. Good luck Sophie in your new adventure!

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.

Watkins (1829-1916) was one of the finest photographers of the nineteenth century.

  • 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.

His childhood was characterized by extreme poverty. His genial father was a gardener unable to provide adequately provide for his family. His attempts to produce a blue dahlia for which a generous cash prize was offered fell short. Therefore, his son was forced to work as a laborer at an early age. Young Savage’s life was changed forever when, as a teenager, he heard the Mormon Elder Thomas B. H. Stenhouse speak about The Church Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
