Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Founding of Utah Seventy-five years ago this spring, 1923, the colonists of Utah were clearing the land in the Salt Lake Valley and planting wheat, rye, corn, potatoes, buckwheat, beans, and squash. They had experienced a hard winter, for food was scarce and their clothing hardly enough to keep them warm. But the springtime brought sunshine, hope, and cheer. Everybody went on to the land and worked. Hundreds of immigrants were expected in the summer and autumn, and they would be in need of food. The work of colonizing the Great Basin by the Mormon pioneers had begun. They be gan the conquest of the soil, and, as they conquered, they loved the land more and more. The following account of the founding of Utah is intended to serve as an introduction to the later history of the State. The book, therefore, deals mainly with origins. It is a series of stories headed as chapters which give the principal eco nomic and social factors of our State's early history. The field of Western history has hardly been touched; and the same may be said of Utah history. Our State has passed through all the stages of economic and social life that are common to American civilization. The story of the develop ment of Utah is a story of the conquest of the soil andthe establishing of the institutions of American civilization in this part of the great West.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Making of a State: A School History of Utah In the prospectus of this work the author announced his intention to prepare a History of Utah suitable for use in the grammar grades of the public schools. A text book for children, it was to be plain, simple, and direct in diction, a story briefly and tersely told, dealing fairly and impartially with all classes and persons concerned. In fulfillment of that promise, this little volume is sent forth. Of necessity, the historical narrative is very much abridged, yet care has been taken to include all essential facts and features, especially those of a permanent character, educative and elevating in their influence, and closely connected with the founding and development of the State.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of Early Utah The glaringly false statements in Whitney's History of Utah respecting the nature and effect of certain occurrences which have in great part gone to make up the history of the State, together with his malignment of the motives of myself and other Gentiles who in the past Opposed the peculiar theocratic and anti-american system established and maintained in Utah while it was a Terri tory by the high priesthood of the Mormon church, are the reasons for the writing of these Reminiscences of my connection with the conflict waged for many years between Mormons and Gentiles. I can vouch for the accuracy of the statements of the facts here given; but whether my observations of the significance of these facts are warranted, the unbiased reader himself must judge. After a careful scrutiny of Whitney's history, I deemed it due the men, many of whom were federal officials and few of whom are yet living, and who have been so wantonly besmirched by him, to correct, at least, some of his erroneous assertions and covert insinuations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Utah, Vol. 4 of 4: Biographical; Illustrated It was in the Spring of 1890 that the Bishop was engaged to write this History by a company organized for the purpose of publishing it, and which employed him at a stated monthly salary for the literary part of the work. The undertaking was gigantic. To carry it to success required years of hard labor on the part of the author, as well as the business heads of the concern; fighting against adverse conditions which were at times almost overwhelming; so that it may be imagined with what a sense of relief the Bishop lays aside his pen, and the publishers and proprietors also end their labors.

Download or read book Utah as It Is written by S. A. Kenner and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Utah as It Is: With a Comprehensive Statement of Utah as It Was, Showing the Founding, Growth and Present Status of the Commonwealth A Great deal has been said and written on the subject to which the subjoined chapters relate, showing that it is an interesting one; and all is not yet said by any means. Each succeeding day adds something to a story already full of wonders which are none the less wonderful because familiar and none the less entertaining because told before. In this volume, however, will be found much, even in the domain of history, that has not previously made its way into print, not necessarily through the neglect of the historian but rather for the reason above suggested - that no one man or any limited number of them, and no publication, could possibly tell it all. But it is not so much with history per se as with current events, not so much with established facts of the past as with the developments of the present and the possibilities of the future as relates to our beloved State, that these pages have to do.
