  • Niels Hansen Family History
    The Niels Hansen Family by Mike and Anna St. Clair On Wednesday, March 16, 1887, Niels Hansen visited his friend and associate, Charles Ora Card at the Card home in Logan, Utah. At about 12:30 p.m., a buggy was heard to pass by the house. Card quietly parted the curtains and determined the buggy belonged to one of the marshals looking for offending polygamists. Niels was immediately sent to warn fellow church members of the marshal’s presence in their midst.1 This time the men were safe from arrest, but this would not always be so. To avoid Niels Hansen 1832-1902 such dangers, Niels relocated to Alberta, Canada, leaving behind all but one of his wives and the nation he had crossed the Atlantic to embrace. Knowing of the law abiding Danish family in which Niels was raised, it would have been impossible to foresee him ever being on the “wrong side of the law.” But it did happen; and in the process, Niels championed the cause of righteousness while making two new nations his own during his lifetime. The history of the Niels Hansen family is inextricably bound to historical issues pertinent to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the second half of the nineteenth century. Niels qualifies as a pioneer in every aspect of his life. Along with his parents and his brothers, he was among the earliest converts to the Mormon Church in Denmark. Eventually Niels, all his brothers and their families, and his parents crossed the Atlantic Ocean.

  • AMONG the MORMONS a Survey of Current Literature
    AMONG THE MORMONS A Survey of Current Literature Edited by Ralph W. Hansen The literary description of the act of love is ... obscene in Orem [Utah]. BEVERLY JACOBSON, Publishers' Weekly, June 24,1974. Utah has achieved the dubious distinction of making the pages of the prestigious organ of America's publication industry, Publishers' Weekly. To some the pub- licity achieved in the article "Bookstore Perishes in Wake of Utah Obscenity Legislation" represents a disheartening step into further denial of free agency. To others it represents a heartening step in the direction of rooting out the devil all around us. To this writer, raised in the "banned in Boston" era, book censor- ship simply means redoubled efforts by young people to obtain the forbidden fruit. In true Western style Orem's law establishes a "bounty system, allowing the complainant to receive one-third of all monies collected in fines in such cases." Will Hollywood be able to make a movie based on this plot in 1984? The Mormon History Association's choice for the best book on Mormon history published in 1973 is Charles S. Peterson's Take Up Your Mission. Lester Bush, "Mormonism's Negro Doctrine: An Historical Overview," Dialogue, and Eugene E. Campbell, "Brigham Young's Outer Cordon," Utah Historical Quarterly, won awards as the best articles. According to the June MHA Newsletter, "Special cita- tions were awarded to Bill Russell, editor of Courage, to Andrew Karl Larson, for long time service and for his book Erastus Snow, and to Alma Blair for contribu- tions to Mormon History and for the innovative use of films in its teachings." The Mormon History Association also announced the forthcoming publication of a new journal, The Journal of Mormon History.

  • The Murdock LDS Academy in Beaver, Utah
    Griffiths: Life at a Church Academy 29 Life at a Church Academy: The Murdock LDS Academy in Beaver, Utah Casey Paul Griffiths Nestled at the base of the Tushar Mountains is the small Southern Utah community of Beaver. Because it is located next to an Interstate highway, visitors quickly passing by might notice an eclectic collection of older look- ing homes, geological formations, or community identifiers like the large “B” which graces the side of the most prominent mountain near the town. As with many small American towns in years past, the life of the community often revolved around the local high school. Yet many of the older citizens in Beaver sometimes refer to another school, the Murdock Academy, which flourished in the town nearly a century earlier. They speak of the school in more revered tones than the local high school, since it wasn’t just a high school, but an LDS academy, a Church-sponsored institution of learning that straddled the border between secondary education and college-level academ- ics. With proud affection local residents remember a time when Beaver wasn’t just another rest stop along the I-15 corridor, but a center of learning for all of the communities in the surrounding counties. They also recall fondly a time when the academy wasn’t just the center of a single community, but a beacon that drew the finest youth from all over the southern portion of the state. The fog of seventy years’ distance makes the memories vague, but the spirit of the academy still lingers in the community.
