Target countries for Radio Free Europe broadcasts are Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, and Romania.

Utah Historical Trails Map: The Routes of Explorers, Early Wayfarers, and Immigrant Trails Depicted in Relation to the Modern Highway System of the States. Salt Lake City: Utah Department of Publicity & Industrial Development, 1948. Map [56 cm x 44 cm] Printed in black on white paper with the historical trails labeled and printed in red. One horizontal fold and one vertical fold as issued. Minor creasing at edges of center folds. Drawn by Fehmel. Introduction by Rulon S. Howells. '8/95' in ink above title. The verso contains a short introduction by Rulon S. Howell, and short individual descriptions of the various historical trails of Utah. According to Saunders: “Though this was a publicity item Howells introduced it as a general trail guide, cautioning those who venture off-road to be well prepared. This map is actually not detailed enough to be much of a help to anyone intent on tracing the actual trails.” Clearly the basis for the Utah Centennial trails map (1996) that was prepared by several members of the Utah Westerners. This is one of my personal favorite Morgan items. Very cool. Saunders 73. $125 Across the Plains 6- Young, Erla. Betsy Buttons. Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Company, 1982. Eighth edition.

Presumably a minuscule print run. We locate one institutional copy (BYU). No copies listed in OCLC. This is the first published work by the celebrated composer and arranger. Rare. Crawford Gates (1921 – 2018) was a lifelong musician and composer who while serving an LDS mission (1940-1942) in the Eastern States he formed the Mormon Male Chorus of Philadelphia, their weekly broadcast on WFIL had a substantial impact on missionary work in the region. In 1946 Crawford began his graduate studies at Brigham Young University in music, while a student, Crawford was commissioned to write the musical score to the Pioneer Centennial sponsored work, ‘Promised Valley’ (He was only 25). After completing his degree, he joined the faculty of BYU, it was during this time he became friends with, and was mentored by Maurice Abravanel. In 1957 Crawford composed the original score for the Hill Cumorah Pageant, which is still in use. His hymns Ring Out Wild Bells and Our Savior’s Love were included in the 1985 LDS hymnal. A celebrated and respected composer Crawford worked closely with BYU to create an archive of his nearly 900 musical works and appeared as a guest conductor on numerous occasions. Lengthy inscription from Gates dated 1943 to the Eastern States Mission President on the front free endsheet: "To President Gustave A. Iverson and Sister Iverson, I shall never forget your inspired leadership of our Eastern States Mission, nor your sincere love of all of us who labored under your guidance. I want to give to you this book of Male Chorus arrangements which I wrote for the Mormon Male Chorus of Philadelphia for use in our missionary work in that organization, as a small token of my appreciation for all that you have done for me. With love to you both, Crawford Gates 1943." "Dedication. This book of music is compiled and dedicated that we who have worked, prayed, sung and laughed and lived together in the Mormon Male Choruses of Philadelphia may hold and cherish the memory of the wonderful experience we had in mutual fellowship. May we never forget our trips through the East, singing the songs of Zion and praises of God to the thousands who gave us ear, the memorable testimony meetings, the happy rehearsal hours, the thrilling moments before audiences both vast and small; even the trouble we had with our cars now seems humorous. May the memory of this music we sang be a life-long token of our continued devotion to the cause in which we have labored together and at that last day may we again be united to stand before the throne and sing our praises once more before our God." $875 Uncommon Work Signed by Cowley 8- Cowley, Matthias F.
