A MONUMENT TO THE HANDCART PIONEERS BY ELIZABETH CANNON PORTER What the Battle of the Marne was to the world war, the Hand­ cart Expeditions were to western immigration. They proved a costly victory. No greater martyrs are found in history than the men who pulled the handcarts until their last day of life. These literally died in the harness. Brave allies were the women and children who treked by their side. The survivors played their part in the "winning of the west;" the dead paid the "price of the prairie." A monument to the handcart pioneers has been modeled by the Norwegian sculptor, Torleif S. Knaphus. This will be cast in bronze and placed on the Tabernacle grounds in Salt Lake City. Subscriptions to this have been raised by a committee of ladies of the society of the Daughters of the Handcart Pioneers.

  • Magnetic Gradient Survey of Seminoe's Fort on the Tom Sun Ranch Along the Oregon and California National Historic Trails, Natrona County, Wyoming
    Magnetic Gradient Survey of Seminoe's Fort on the Tom Sun Ranch Along the Oregon and California National Historic Trails, Natrona County, Wyoming National Park Service – Midwest Archeological Center Magnetic Gradient Survey of Seminoe's Fort on the Tom Sun Ranch Along the Oregon and California National Historic Trails, Natrona County, Wyoming By Steven L. De Vore Midwest Archeological Center Technical Report No. 77 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service Midwest Archeological Center Lincoln, Nebraska 2002 This report has been reviewed against the criteria contained in 43CFR Part 7, Subpart A, Section 7.18 (a) (1) and, upon recommendation of the Midwest Regional Office and the Midwest Archeological Center, has been classified as Available Making the report available meets the criteria of 43CFR Part 7, Subpart A, Section 7.18 (a) (1). Abstract Seminoe’s Fort was a trading post along the California, Mormon Pioneer, and Oregon National His- toric Trails near Devils Gate in southwestern Natrona County, Wyoming, which was used in various ways from 1852 to 1857. Over the decades since the abandonment and destruction of the fort, the exact loca- tion of the small trading post, designated 48NA288, was lost in the memory of the American people. The National Park Service’s Long Distance Trail Office in Salt Lake City requested the Midwest Ar- cheological Center and the Wyoming State Archaeologist’s Office to identify the location of the trading post using geophysical investigation techniques. Midwest Archeological Center staff conducted geophysi- cal investigations at the Tom Sun Ranch between May 22 and May 26, 2001.

  • Sam and Adelia Settled Into Their New Log Home
    1 Samuel Obed Crosby and Hannah Adelia Bunker Crosby1 By Jeffrey E. Crosby Jesse Wentworth and Hannah Elida Baldwin Crosby2 were married in November of 1845 at Nauvoo, Illinois by Brigham Young. Following President Young, they traveled to Utah in the summer of 1847. They crossed the plains in the hundred captained by Daniel Spencer, arriving in the valley on 24 September 1847. Traveling with them was their infant son, George Henry, born in 1846. Their second son, Jesse Wentworth, Jr., was born in the Salt Lake valley in the spring of 1848. Their third son, Samuel Obed Crosby, was also born in Salt Lake during the heat of the summer, on 26 August 1849. Childhood in Salt Lake In a biographical sketch of her father, Elida Crosby Haycock recorded that Samuel Obed was born while Jesse was on a mission to England.3 While this is not correct, it would probably have seemed that way to the young Sam. Jesse left Salt 1 Hannah wrote a brief autobiographical sketch of her life. In addition, both John S. Crosby and Elida Crosby Haycock wrote biographical sketches of their father. These three documents have served as the outline for this history. I have added personal recollections of others and supplemented with documents where possible—many of them being included in this volume. 2 Five different Crosby women were named Hannah in the span of three generations. Hannah Corning Cann Crosby (1784-1839) was the wife of Joshua Crosby. Hannah Cann Crosby Mumford (1808-1883) was the daughter of Joshua and Hannah.

    The Annals of Volume 65, Numbers 2 & 3 Iowa Spring/Summer 2006 SPECIAL COMMEMORATIVE ISSUE: MORMON HANDCART TREK A QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF HISTORY In This Issue FIVE HISTORIANS of the Mormon experience treat the details of the Mormon handcart trek of 1856–1857. William G. Hartley provides an overview of the experience, setting it in the context of the overall over- land trail migration from the 1840s to the late 1860s. Don H. Smith discusses the leadership, planning, and management of the 1856 hand- cart migration. He argues that those aspects of the plan were executed with care and skill and that the disasters that befell the last two compa- nies of 1856 were due to factors beyond the leaders’ control. Fred E. Woods, often using the voices of the emigrants themselves, narrates the experiences of those emigrants as they made their way by ship from Liverpool to the United States and then by rail to Iowa City. Lyndia Carter picks up the story from there, following three of the handcart companies—the Willie, Haven and Martin companies—across Iowa as they were tested to see if they were up to the challenge of crossing the Plains all the way to the Salt Lake Valley. Finally, Steven F. Faux care- fully maps the route the handcart migrants followed across Iowa. Front Cover In the early 1900s the Daughters of Utah Handcart Pioneers commis- sioned a statue to memorialize the handcart trek. Sculpted by Torleif Knaphus, the 3-foot-high bronze monument, unveiled in 1926, was displayed for years in Salt Lake City’s Temple Square Information Bureau.

    ARTICLES AND ESSAYS THE ADAM-GOD DOCTRINE DAVID JOHN BUERGER . when brother Pratt went back last fall, and published the Revelation concerning the plurality of wives; it was thought there was no other cat to let out. But allow me to tell you . you may expect an eternity of cats, that have not yet escaped from the bag .... Brigham Young, 1853 ON APRIL 9, 1852, Brigham Young rose once again to address a session of general conference. He intended to preach several discourses, he said, and as the Deseret News observed the following week, "the Holy Ghost [rested] upon [him] in great power, while he revealed some of the precious things of the kingdom."1 One of his subjects was the "mysteries of the kingdom." If mysteries were to be taught, Young advised, they should be discussed here, for this "is the place for you to teach great mysteries to your brethren, because here are those who can correct you." After brief comments on amusements and tithing, Young proceeded to a dramatic announcement: Now hear it, O inhabitants of the earth, Jew and Gentile, Saint and Sinner! When our Father Adam came into the garden of Eden, he came into it with a celestial body, and brought Eve, one of his wives, with him. He helped to make and organize this world. He is MICHAEL, the Archangel, the ANCIENT OF DAYS! about whom holy men have written and spoken—He is our Father and our God, and the only God with whom we have to do. Every man upon the earth, professing Christians and non-professing must hear it, and will know it sooner or later.
