See discussion in R. Jean Addams, “The Bullion, Beck, and Champion Mining Com- pany and the Redemption of Zion,” 161–236. Back cover illustration: Maughan’s Fort, by Reid W. Parkinson (1914–2004), oil on canvas, 1981, LDS Church History Museum. © By Intellectual Reserve, Inc. In a Re- gionalist style reminiscent of American muralist Thomas Hart Benton (1889– 1975), Parkinson depicts everyday life at Maughan’s Fort (renamed Wellsville by Brigham Young in 1859), in northern Utah’s Cache County. Inside the fort, log homes face each other across future Center Street, and log dugouts form a half-cir- cle along Little Bear River. A lifelong Wellsville resident and dairy farmer, Parkin- son studied art at Utah State University with figurative muralist Everett Thorpe (1904–1983). See the “Presidential Address,” Glen M. Leonard, “Seeking an Inheri- tance: Mormon Mobility, Urbanity, and Community,” 1–58.
