I received a letter, giving some excuse, but saying they would come in a few days. Before the time proposed the bond was up, and the persons wanting the chance bought the land the day it was on the market. I then telegraphed to the parties that they need not come, as it was too late. CHAPTER LIII. Other Brethren Visit my Proposed Purchase--Their Good Report-- Death of my Son, Wiley--My Return to Salt Lake City--A new Invention. I NOW made up my mind to get the best understanding of various tracts of lands, then for sale. I succeeded to my satisfaction. I wished, before leaving Mexico, to get some of our people to go with me and see the tract of land that I had been recommending, for many persons supposed that I had exaggerated its merits. I again visited Brother Snow's headquarters, hoping that I could get someone sent to see this land. I knew the parties who had purchased it, and had reason to believe that it could be bought of them still at a reasonable figure, considering its qualities. I succeeded in getting the brethren interested enough to let two of the Elders--Brother Spencer and Bishop Williams, two of the most reliable pioneers in camp--to go with me. We were gone fourteen days. On their return they reported that I had shown to them the best country they had ever seen--Illinois and Kentucky not excepted; also, the most hospitable and welldisposed people they had ever met. 1 now felt satisfied, as far as duty was concerned. This land was acknowledged to be much better than I reported it to be. I now left Mexico, with the feeling that I had done all I could at that time. I came to Salt Lake again and offered some other good lands that I had listed for sale; but all faith in Mexican land matters seemed at an...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forty Years Among the Indians: A True Yet Thrilling Narrative of the Author's Experiences Among the Natives In answer to the solicitation of many friends, I have concluded to write something of my personal history and experience in frontier life, especially relating to that por tion spent among the Indians and Mexicans. In doing this I shall aim to write the plain, simple truth. I have to trust mainly to my memory, never having kept a jour nal. I have preserved a few letters that will aid me, but the greater part of this history will be given as it comes to my mind, just as it occurred to me at the time, modi fied or strengthened, as the case may be, by after circum stances. One rule I shall endeavor to follow - to speak the truth without malice toward anyone. This will doubtless be hard for me to carry through, but I make a record of the desire, that it may be continually before me.

Download or read book Valley of the Guns written by Eduardo Obregón Pagán and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2018-10-11 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 1880s, Pleasant Valley, Arizona, descended into a nightmare of violence, murder, and mayhem. By the time the Pleasant Valley War was over, eighteen men were dead, four were wounded, and one was missing, never to be found. Valley of the Guns explores the reasons for the violence that engulfed the settlement, turning neighbors, families, and friends against one another. While popular historians and novelists have long been captivated by the story, the Pleasant Valley War has more recently attracted the attention of scholars interested in examining the underlying causes of western violence. In this book, author Eduardo Obregón Pagán explores how geography and demographics aligned to create an unstable settlement subject to the constant threat of Apache raids. The fear of surprise attack by day and the theft of livestock by night prompted settlers to shape their lives around the expectation of sudden violence. As the forces of progress strained natural resources, conflict grew between local ranchers and cowboys hired by ranching corporations. Mixed-race property owners found themselves fighting white cowboys to keep their land. In addition, territorial law enforcement officers were outsiders to the community and approached every suspect fully armed and ready to shoot. The combination of unrelenting danger, its accompanying stress, and an abundance of firearms proved deadly. Drawing from history, geography, cultural studies, and trauma studies, Pagán uses the story of Pleasant Valley to demonstrate a new way of looking at the settlement of the West. Writing in a vivid narrative style and employing rigorous scholarship, he creatively explores the role of trauma in shaping the lives and decisions of the settlers in Pleasant Valley and offers new insight into the difficulties of survival in an isolated frontier community.
