Book excerpt: Dale Hypsmann, a blacksmith on his way to a job in Red Butte, Colorado, is mistaken for a payroll messenger and shot. While recovering from the wound that breaks two ribs, Dale engages in a shooting match for a prize rifle. He wins the match and the enmity of the local, overgrown pug-ugly known as H.K. At a dance, H.K. starts an argument and hits Dale's chest wound. One of the weakened ribs ruptures and punctures Dale's lung, causing a siege of pneumonia. Out of bed but a few days, Dale drives the doctor to an emergency call. The worried doctor doesn't warn Dale, and after an hour in the cold, he walks into the house full of diphtheria. The epidemic runs its course and a dance is held to aid the victims of the disease. Before inviting his girlfriend, Alegra Hawthorn, to the shindig, Dale uses his blacksmith know-how to make a metal chest protector. H.K. starts an argument by throwing Dale's coat on the dance hall floor and wiping his shoes on it. When Dale accepts the challenge, a blow to his scarcely healed chest knocks him to the floor, and the chest protector cripples H.K.'s hand. On the morning Alegra and Dale start their honeymoon, H.K. meets them with a blacksnake whip. Because of H.K.'s crippled hand, Dale is able to get control of the whip and beats H.K. into a craven hulk.

Download or read book The Mormon Handcart Migration written by Candy Moulton and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2019-04-25 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1856 the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints employed a new means of getting converts to Great Salt Lake City who could not afford the journey otherwise. They began using handcarts, thus initiating a five-year experiment that has become a legend in the annals of Mormon and North American migration. Only one in ten Mormon emigrants used handcarts, but of those 3,000 who did between 1856 and 1860, most survived the harrowing journey to settle Utah and become members of a remarkable pioneer generation. Others were not so lucky. More than 200 died along the way, victims of exhaustion, accident, and, for a few, starvation and exposure to late-season Wyoming blizzards. Now, Candy Moulton tells of their successes, travails, and tragedies in an epic retelling of a legendary story. The Mormon Handcart Migration traces each stage of the journey, from the transatlantic voyage of newly converted church members to the gathering of the faithful in the eastern Nebraska encampment known as Winter Quarters. She then traces their trek from the western Great Plains, across modern-day Wyoming, to their final destination at Great Salt Lake. The handcart experiment was the brainchild of Mormon leader Brigham Young, who decreed that the saints could haul their own possessions, pushing or pulling two-wheeled carts across 1,100 miles of rough terrain, much of it roadless and some of it untrodden. The LDS church now embraces the saga of the handcart emigrants—including even the disaster that befell the Martin and Willie handcart companies in central Wyoming in 1856—as an educational, faith-inspiring experience for thousands of youth each year. Moulton skillfully weaves together scores of firsthand accounts from the journals, letters, diaries, reminiscences, and autobiographies the handcart pioneers left behind. Depth of research and unprecedented detail make this volume an essential history of the Mormon handcart migration.
