Book excerpt: This diary recounts the day-to-day experience of Thomas Flint who, with several relatives, went from Maine to California to Maine and back to California again between 1851 to 1854. The first three legs of the journeys were via Central America, including a trip back to Maine with a chest of thirty-some pounds of gold.The main part of the diary covers the second trip to California, in 1853, overland and driving more than two thousand sheep, cattle, oxen and horses though the Illinois - Nebraska - Wyoming - Utah route to California. The detailed day by day entries describe distance, difficulties with the herds, crossing rivers, encounters with American Indians, Mormons, and other groups heading west on the same trail. It is full of very specific detail - daily logs of mileage, people they encounter, expenditures, income from trading along the way, and so on. Flint wrote "my pistol, whether awake or asleep was always at my right hand." This is a reprint of the original edition published by the Historical Society of Southern California. The text has been reset, and there are additional introductory material and notes.

Download or read book The Whites Want Every Thing written by Will Bagley and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2019-10-17 with total page 704 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Indians have been at the center of Mormon doctrine from its very beginnings, recast as among the Children of Israel and thereby destined to play a central role in the earthly triumph of the new faith. The settling of the Mormons among the Indians of what became Utah Territory presented a different story—a story that, as told by the settlers, robbed the Native people of their voices along with their homelands. The Whites Want Everything restores those Native voices to the history of colonization of the American Southwest. Collecting a wealth of documents from varied and often-suppressed sources, this volume allows both Indians and Latter-day Saints to tell their stories as they struggled to determine who would control the land and resources of North America’s Great Basin. Journals, letters, reports, and recollections, many from firsthand participants, reveal the complexities of cooperation and conflict between Native Americans and Mormon Anglo-Americans. The documents offer extraordinarily wide-ranging and detailed perspectives on the fight to survive in one of Earth’s most challenging environments. Editor Will Bagley, a scholar of Mormon history and the American West, provides cultural, historical, and environmental context for the documents, which include the Indians’ own eloquent voices as preserved in the region’s remarkable archives. In all these accounts, we see how some of western North America’s most colorful historical characters recorded their adventures and regarded their painful stories—and how, in doing so, they bring light to a dark chapter in American history. Ranging from initial encounters through the 1850–1872 war against Native tribes, to recitations of Mormon millennial dreams continued long after Brigham Young’s death in 1877, this is history as it happened, not as some might wish it had, at long last returning the original owners of today’s Utah, Nevada, and Colorado to their rightful place in history.

Download or read book Blood of the Prophets written by Will Bagley and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2012-09-06 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The massacre at Mountain Meadows on September 11, 1857, was the single most violent attack on a wagon train in the thirty-year history of the Oregon and California trails. Yet it has been all but forgotten. Will Bagley’s Blood of the Prophets is an award-winning, riveting account of the attack on the Baker-Fancher wagon train by Mormons in the local militia and a few Paiute Indians. Based on extensive investigation of the events surrounding the murder of over 120 men, women, and children, and drawing from a wealth of primary sources, Bagley explains how the murders occurred, reveals the involvement of territorial governor Brigham Young, and explores the subsequent suppression and distortion of events related to the massacre by the Mormon Church and others.
