Morgan died of cancer, March 30, in Accokeek, Maryland, at the home of his long-time friend, Louise North. Scope and Content The Dale L. Morgan Papers are extraordinarily rich in source materials for historians of the Trans-Mississippi West during the 19th century. Major topics include the Mormon Church and related sects, mountain men, mapping and exploration of the Rocky Mountain and western United States, fur trade, overland migration, and the California Gold Rush. Morgan was a member of The Bancroft Library staff, working as an editor, writer, and researcher, from 1954 until his untimely death in 1971. The papers were then deposited in The Library, and remained there, in an unprocessed and highly disorganized state, until April 1988. The processed collection now measures 65.45 linear feet, housed in 76 boxes and 27 cartons. Duplicate and non-record items were discarded. Printed materials have been separated and transferred to the Acquisitions Division of The Bancroft Library for cataloging. Photographs and maps have been transferred to the Pictorial and Map Collections, respectively. Microfilm collected by Morgan has been transferred to the Microforms Division. Resulting in part from his handicap, Dale Morgan had a love of and gift for the written word. The first series, Conversations, ca. 1941-1970, demonstrates his difficulty in communicating face to face with friends, scholars, and library personnel. Correspondence provided a wonderful outlet. The sheer number and length of the letters he wrote and received are astounding. These form the core of the collection and are divided into four series: Outgoing Correspondence, 1937-1971 (Series 2); Incoming Correspondence, 1924-1971 (Series 3); Letters Routed to Dale L. Morgan for Information, 1935-1970 (Series 4); and Family Correspondence, 1903-1970 (Series 5). One thousand, four hundred and fifty people, more than three quarters of the writers, wrote fewer than 10 letters, but 16 correspondents each wrote more than 100 letters, accounting for 35% of the total incoming volume. One correspondent alone is responsible for 7.5% of the incoming volume. Incoming correspondence has the largest volume at 48% of the whole, outgoing constitutes 39%, and family correspondence 7%. The remaining 6% are letters which are neither written by, nor written to, Morgan. Including the letters written to his family, Morgan's own correspondence is approximately 43% of the total amount. Although Morgan thought of his letters as personal and professional in content, they fall into three categories: history and historical research; his personal historical activities; and his "other personal" activities. He was an exhaustive and meticulous researcher. Many of his history/historical research letters functioned as his interior monologue and the incoming responses furthered the discussion. In fact, because of his deafness, much of the historical process is now documented in detail; had he been able to hear and speak, much of this detail certainly may have been lost.

  • Fawn Brodie and Her Quest for Independence
    Fawn Brodie and Her Quest for Independence Newell G. Bringhurst FAWN MCKAY BRODIE IS KNOWN IN MORMON CIRCLES primarily for her con- troversial 1945 biography of Joseph Smith — No Man Knows My History. Because of this work she was excommunicated from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In the 23 May 1946 summons, William H. Reeder, presi- dent of the New England Mission, charged her with apostasy: You assert matters as truths which deny the divine origin of the Book of Mormon, the restoration of the Priesthood and of Christ's Church through the instrumentality of the Prophet Joseph Smith, contrary to the beliefs, doctrines, and teachings of the Church. This reaction did not surprise the author of the biography. For Brodie had approached the Mormon prophet from a "naturalistic perspective" — that is, she saw him as having primarily non-religious motives. As she later noted: "I was convinced before I ever began writing that Joseph Smith was not a true Prophet" (1975, 10). Writing No Man Knows My History was Brodie's declaration of independence from Mormonism. In the words of Richard S. Van Wagoner, Brodie's "compulsion to rid herself of the hooks that Mor- monism had embedded in her soul centered on her defrocking Joseph Smith" (1982, 32). She herself, in a 4 November 1959 letter to her uncle, Dean Brim- hall, described the writing of the biography as "a desperate effort to come to terms with my childhood." NEWELL G. BRINGHURST is an instructor of history and political science at College of the Sequoias in Visalia, California.

  • Dale Morgan, Writer's Project, and Mormon History As a Regional Study
    Dale Morgan, Writer's Project, and Mormon History as a Regional Study Charles S. Peterson AT THE 1968 ANNUAL MEETING of the Utah Historical Society, Juanita Brooks read a paper about the Southern Utah Records Survey of the early and mid-1930s that had been a forerunner to the Federal Writers' Project. She began with a direct and earthy line, "Jest a Copyin — Word fr Word," and concluded with equal directness that the survey had taught her to see each record and to see it whole (Brooks 1969). They were simple lines and understated, but between them and hid- den beyond was an adventure of the mind, a story about the person- alities and events of one of the most exciting intellectual endeavors ever to take place in Mormon country. She spoke that evening about Dixie's poverty, about a king's ransom in pioneer diaries, about discov- ery, collection, and transcription, and about remarkable personal ded- ication. Fortunately Brooks spoke also about friends made along the way. Most notably she praised her long-time colleague and advocate, Dale Morgan, whose work with the Writers' Project was the first step in a remarkable career as a historian of regional topics including state his- tory, mountain men and exploration, and the Mormon experience. This essay will take a look at Dale Morgan in the context of the Utah Records Survey and the Federal Writers' Project, with the intent to know him better and to shed light on regionalism's influence on Mormon history. CHARLES S. PETERSON is a professor emeritus of history at Utah State University, professor of history at Southern Utah University, former editor of the Western Historical Quarterly, and former director of the Utah Historical Society (1969-71).

  • Madeline Mcquown, Dale Morgan, and the Great Unfinished Brigham Young Biography
    Madeline McQuown, Dale Morgan, and the Great Unfinished Brigham Young Biography Craig L. Foster SHORTLY AFTER COMPLETING THE DEVIL DRIVES: A Life of Sir Richard Burton in 1967, Fawn M. Brodie wrote to her friend Dale Morgan confessing that she had "been periodically haunted by the desire to do a biography of Brigham Young." She mentioned that she had been encouraged by "many people" and "more than one publisher."1 Knowing that Morgan's close friend, Madeline R. McQuown, had been working for a number of years on her own Brigham Young biography, Brodie stated that she had stayed away from Young. However, since "so many years [had] gone by with no" McQuown-written biography, Brodie asked Morgan to "frankly" tell her what the status was of McQuown's long-awaited book.2 Morgan quickly responded that McQuown's manuscript was "sub- stantially complete" and "so massive" that "it may have to be a two-vol- ume work." He reported that McQuown had "done an amazing research job" and that at least one publisher, Alfred A. Knopf, had expressed inter- est.3 Notwithstanding Morgan's praise of McQuown's work and discour- agement of Brodie's interest in Brigham Young, Brodie persisted, ex- plaining that W.W. Norton wanted her to write a biography. Her Utah 1. Brodie to Morgan, 14 Aug. 1967, in Newell G. Bringhurst, "Fawn M.

  • A Pioneer at Sutter's Fort, 1846-1850; the Adventures of Heinrich Lienhard
    A pioneer at Sutter's fort, 1846-1850; the adventures of Heinrich Lienhard. Translated and edited by Marguerite Eyer Wilbur from the original German manuscript LIENHARD AS A YOUNG MAN. FROM A FAMILY PHOTOGRAPH. Courtesy of Miss Mary Lienhard. This Book is Number Three of the Calafía Series. The legend of Calafía is intimately associated with the nomenclature of California. This fanciful tale occurs in the fifth book of a popular Portuguese-Spanish cycle of the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, a romance in which the knightly and heroic deeds of Prince Esplandian, son of King Amadis, who rallied to the support of the Christian faith when it was threatened by the pagan forces before the walls of Constantinople, are depicted in the elaborate manner of the period. As the battle between the Crescent and the Cross reached its zenith, the opposing armies were thrown into turmoil when Esplandian fell suddenly in love with one of the allies of the pagan King Armato, a beautiful queen who lived on an island called California, “very close to that part of the terrestial paradise, which was inhabited by black women without a single man among them, who lived in the manner of Amazons.” The name of this queen was Calafía.
