No servants with basins or nurses with salves came running to aid the agonized aristocrat, however. Instead, von Wendt collapsed onto a cot in the living room of a most un- likely friend— James Henry Martineau, a devout Mormon and lo- cal surveyor. Yet strange as this connection between a European nobleman and a humble Mormon Utahn might seem, it was about to become even stranger. For at nearly the same moment as he * DIXIE DILLON LANE {[email protected]} first encountered the Martineau diary while working as the assistant in Western American histori- cal manuscripts at the Huntington Library in San Marino, California, where she had the privilege of processing the library’s copy. She is now a doctoral candidate in American history at the University of Notre Dame. Her dissertation is a study of homeschooling across the American religious and political spectrums since 1950.
