Author: Georgetta Hickey
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781986377515
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
The Minnesota frontier was transformed in the 1840s, from the fur trade to lumber, and in the 1850s, from lumber to farming. Its vast forests and prairies were settled by those arriving by wagon and steamboat--the pioneers.Of the many pioneer women in Minnesota in the years 1840-1860, the forty-four portrayed in this book are ancestors of members of the Lake Minnetonka Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution. As a companion to the chapter's restoration of the 1929 DAR monument "Honoring Minnesota Pioneer Women 1840-1860" at the Sibley House in Mendota, Minnesota, this book affords the opportunity to paint a picture of the hardships, courage and adventurous spirit of these pioneer women, so that their stories live on.

Mormon Thunder
Author: Gene A. Sessions
Publisher: Greg Kofford Books
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 496
Book Description
Jedediah Morgan Grant was a man who knew no compromise when it came to principles—and his principles were clearly representative, argues Gene A. Sessions, of Mormonism’s first generation. His life is a glimpse of a Mormon world whose disappearance coincided with the death of this “pious yet rambunctiously radical preacher, flogging away at his people, demanding otherworldliness and constant sacrifice.” It was “an eschatological, pre-millennial world in which every individual teetered between salvation and damnation and in which unsanitary privies and appropriating a stray cow held the same potential for eternal doom as blasphemy and adultery.” Updated and newly illustrated with more photographs, this second edition of the award-winning documentary history (first published in 1982) chronicles Grant’s ubiquitous role in the Mormon history of the 1840s and ’50s. In addition to serving as counselor to Brigham Young during two tumultuous and influential years at the end of his life, he also portentously befriended Thomas L. Kane, worked to temper his unruly brother-in-law William Smith, captained a company of emigrants into the Salt Lake Valley in 1847, and journeyed to the East on several missions to bolster the position of the Mormons during the crises surrounding the runaway judges affair and the public revelation of polygamy. Jedediah Morgan Grant’s voice rises powerfully in these pages, startling in its urgency in summoning his people to sacrifice and moving in its tenderness as he communicated to his family. From hastily scribbled letters to extemporaneous sermons exhorting obedience, and the notations of still stunned listeners, the sound of “Mormon Thunder” rolls again in “a boisterous amplification of what Mormonism really was, and would never be again.”

Book Description
This book is an amazing mix of definitions and historical facts that allows readers to seemingly step into life in the 1800s. Every page holds interesting information from 19th century documents. Each source has been carefully researched. What is a breechy cow, a churl or a dolly peg? What did it mean to cozen, to swan or to rive?These words, like hundreds of others in this book, were common in the mid-1800s. for anyone with an interest in how our pioneer ancestors spoke and wrote, or just have an interest in LDS history, this book is a must. Each unusual word is presented in an entertaining way that will please readers of all ages. for example: Coot-n. (Colloq.) a common or stupid fellow. Like most weekly papers in the early nineteenth century, the Saints' Evening and Morning Star carried a great deal of filler items from papers throughout the country. In 1832, it carried such a typical item on page 31: It seems that, at the Union celebration of the 4th of July, in Bishopsville, S.C. the coots poisoned the victuals which sickened all that eat, and one died. So step into history, and gain some interesting and revealing insights. Even stump your friends!

Languages : en
Pages : 102
Book Description
Whether your family tree is partially filled out, mostly complete, or full with many LDS relatives, this step-by-step method will help you discover new relatives and reserve their temple ordinances. You will review the accuracy of your tree, analyze your pedigree, and make a list of ancestors to research. Those with many LDS relatives will locate research opportunities by diving deeper into tree analysis and listing ancestors who were not members of the LDS Church. Using descendancy research to find cousins will open doors for those will full family trees. Instead of selecting random ancestors, you will systematically view descendancy trees for each of the ancestors in your list. By evaluating each descendancy tree, you can determine which branches are most likely to contain candidates for further research likely to be found in available records. Once you have chosen a relative to focus on, you'll begin a research project. Research begins by choosing a research question. Next you will create a simple research plan and research log. When you have completed your searches, you will then record what you found in FamilySearch, including adding sources and new relatives to the tree, and then write a summary of your research. After merging duplicates you will be ready to reserve temple ordinances. After you've successfully found names for the temple, you can repeat the process by going back to your list of candidates for further research and begin again with a new research question. Now you won't run out of research opportunities! As you research each relative one by one, you will grow to love them and think of them as friends. As President Eyring said, "your heart will be bound to theirs forever."

Pages : 373
Book Description
"When Brigham Young summons young Morgan Davis to his office and calls him to join other missionaries in settling the Muddy River Valley (what is now Nevada), Morgan can't imagine what lies in store. He has just two weeks to find a wife and gather enough belongings to help start a settlement. As Morgan and his new bride, Angeline, travel the long trail south in a covered wagon, they fall in love and connect with the other Saints. But the desert location on the Muddy River soon becomes a physical and emotional test for all of them. Together they face difficult requests from Church leaders, multiple failed attempts to settle, deaths of loved ones, and then perhaps the ultimate challenge, polygamy. What do stalwart members do when faced with conflicting feelings between what their hearts tell them and the hard instructions from Salt Lake City? Morgan and Angeline are about to find out."--Publisher.
