Book excerpt: Some of these stories have been heard partially many times before, although rarely has the whole story been told. Some of the stories have never been told, while researchers have found more and more new information over the years. These are the stories of the hidden heroes and heroines of Utah. Conflicted and kept uncover, many of these people never did figure out where the light and shadows were in their own lives. So I present them through many viewpoints and in their known and unknown facets, shedding light where darkness kept them silent for so long.--Cover page [4].

Download or read book Utah Territory Tales written by Linda Dunning and published by Weaver's Tales. This book was released on 2018-04-30 with total page 661 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mormon frontier was a west of undercover murders, land rights disputes, Mormonlaw versus Federal law, battles for leadership, an anticipated war between the states and Zion,and the controversies of polygamy until a revelation ended the practice officially and sent itunderground for many years afterwards. The Utah Territory was filled with apostates, gentilesand faithful saints who all came to this promise land, joined it or observed it, questioned it, andwrote about it. There are interesting Native American chiefs and native women who eithersurvived this land and these times or did not. There are black slaves who traveled with theirmasters who had become saints of Zion and when freed, left or stayed, or faced horrific deaths.There were also river runners and hermits who had their stories washed away by the flooding oftheir lands and homes and there were lawmen and outlaws with stories just as wild as anywhereelse in the west. Pioneer women, madams and soiled doves and the women who followed theoutlaws, they too, have stories to tell. With all the folklore and spiritual visions that grew up overtime and the hidden souls buried deep in the earth far away from any cemeteries, there are stillmany untold stories that if truthfully told would outdo any wild west films of today. And last,there are the leaders whose stories were never told or only told from one point of view. They arethe most forgotten, heroes and heroines, villains and very good men who did very bad things. Allwho justified what they did and compartmentalized their decisions about who should live andwho should die, chose to displace these things on others. More importantly, there were those whobraved criticisms and chastisements or even the threat of being killed, when choosing to do theright thing. All of them have tales to tell. So that many who wrote down their own stories or theirancestors did, may hopefully be heard and acknowledged within these pages.

Book Synopsis West of the River by : Jack Williams
Download or read book West of the River written by Jack Williams and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-02-03 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of the Mormon Pioneers that came to Utah Territory during the mid-to late 1800's settled in the southwest half of the Salt Lake Valley of Utah, west of the Jordan River. They cleared and worked the land, built homes, had children, saw their children die of disease and problems in child-birth, bore more children and saw their older survivors marry and have children. By the early 1900's several viable communities had been created in the southwestern section of Salt Lake Valley and most of the first-generation settlers had died. West of the River is a collection of short stories about some of these people and their offspring that settled in one of those west of the river communities: West Jordan Utah.

Download or read book By Order of the Prophet; A Tale of Utah written by Alfred H. Henry and published by Deutsch Press. This book was released on 2007-10 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PREFACE. THE Author of this very practical treatise on Scotch Loch - Fishing desires clearly that it may be of use to all who had it. He does not pretend to have written anything new, but to have attempted to put what he has to say in as readable a form as possible. Everything in the way of the history and habits of fish has been studiously avoided, and technicalities have been used as sparingly as possible. The writing of this book has afforded him pleasure in his leisure moments, and that pleasure would be much increased if he knew that the perusal of it would create any bond of sympathy between himself and the angling community in general. This section is interleaved with blank shects for the readers notes. The Author need hardly say that any suggestions addressed to the case of the publishers, will meet with consideration in a future edition. We do not pretend to write or enlarge upon a new subject. Much has been said and written-and well said and written too on the art of fishing but loch-fishing has been rather looked upon as a second-rate performance, and to dispel this idea is one of the objects for which this present treatise has been written. Far be it from us to say anything against fishing, lawfully practised in any form but many pent up in our large towns will bear us out when me say that, on the whole, a days loch-fishing is the most convenient. One great matter is, that the loch-fisher is depend- ent on nothing but enough wind to curl the water, -and on a large loch it is very seldom that a dead calm prevails all day, -and can make his arrangements for a day, weeks beforehand whereas the stream- fisher is dependent for a good take on the state of the water and however pleasant and easy it may be for one living near the banks of a good trout stream or river, it is quite another matter to arrange for a days river-fishing, if one is looking forward to a holiday at a date some weeks ahead. Providence may favour the expectant angler with a good day, and the water in order but experience has taught most of us that the good days are in the minority, and that, as is the case with our rapid running streams, -such as many of our northern streams are, -the water is either too large or too small, unless, as previously remarked, you live near at hand, and can catch it at its best. A common belief in regard to loch-fishing is, that the tyro and the experienced angler have nearly the same chance in fishing, -the one from the stern and the other from the bow of the same boat. Of all the absurd beliefs as to loch-fishing, this is one of the most absurd. Try it. Give the tyro either end of the boat he likes give him a cast of ally flies he may fancy, or even a cast similar to those which a crack may be using and if he catches one for every three the other has, he may consider himself very lucky. Of course there are lochs where the fish are not abundant, and a beginner may come across as many as an older fisher but we speak of lochs where there are fish to be caught, and where each has a fair chance. Again, it is said that the boatman has as much to do with catching trout in a loch as the angler. Well, we dont deny that. In an untried loch it is necessary to have the guidance of a good boatman but the same argument holds good as to stream-fishing...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legends, Lore and True Tales of Utah explores an eclectic past Ordinary history books often fail to address the obscure or the unexplained, leaving questions buried in annals of yesteryear.

Why did 'Frankenstein' prowl through the Cache town of Clarkston? Does Sardine Canyon hide the state's fishiest story? Exactly what was the 'Lakemobile' that rolled through the Great Salt Lake? When and why did BYU temporarily ban football? How is it that the first college basketball team to ever play in the state was all women, and they beat the men? Retired journalist Lynn Arave presents this unique collection, including over a hundred photographs, of the Beehive State's offbeat history.

A fire in one neighborhood spread from house to house -- one spectacular explosion after another as basement stills ignited. Other issues--Mountain Common Law, lynchings of Blacks and Asians, the admissibility of divine revelation as courtroom evidence, Salt Lake's experiment with managed prostitution -- all contribute to a genuine page-turner.
