Book Description
John Taylor, third president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints, espoused the work of the Lord in the last days because he had the light of truth burning within him when it was first made known to him. He lived a fearless, noble and God-like life—let those who still live seek to emulate his noble example. President Taylor was said to have been a friend to himself, a friend to his family, a friend to this people and a friend to God. He was the champion of human rights, the champion of liberty, truth and freedom. He lived a noble, useful life, full of honor and credit to himself and family, a satisfaction to the people and a glory to God. This biography of John Taylor bears this testimony to the faithfulness and devotion of President Taylor, to his integrity to God and the love of his people. He was known to be a man determined to do right, to see justice administered, truth upheld, and honor sustained among this people. He lived to see this people pass through many changes. Follow the life of John Taylor from a distinguished and successful missionary, through troubles of Missouri, as an apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ, a journalist in Nauvoo, editor of the Nauvoo Neighbor and other periodicals, crossing the plains from Winter Quarters, and a distinguished Legislator in the councils of the Legislature of the Territory of Utah. Come to know the man who experienced adversity as well as prosperity, and in a great many capacities. It was said of John Taylor, that in all the positions which he occupied, he was eminently faithful and filled them with ability and with unflinching integrity to the kingdom of God on the earth.

Book Description
In Wandering Souls, Rohrer examines the migration patterns of eight religious groups and finds that Protestant migrations consisted of two basic types. The most common type involved migrations motivated by religion, economics, and family, in which Puritans, Methodists, Moravians, and others headed to the frontier as individuals in search of religious and social fulfillment. The other type involved groups wanting to escape persecution (such as the Mormons) or to establish communities where they could practice their faith in peace (such as the Inspirationists). --from publisher description.

Book Description
2021 Nebraska Book Award Never Caught Twice presents the untold history of horse raiding and stealing on the Great Plains of western Nebraska. By investigating horse stealing by and from four Plains groups—American Indians, the U.S. Army, ranchers and cowboys, and farmers—Matthew S. Luckett clarifies a widely misunderstood crime in Western mythology and shows that horse stealing transformed plains culture and settlement in fundamental and surprising ways. From Lakota and Cheyenne horse raids to rustling gangs in the Sandhills, horse theft was widespread and devastating across the region. The horse’s critical importance in both Native and white societies meant that horse stealing destabilized communities and jeopardized the peace throughout the plains, instigating massacres and murders and causing people to act furiously in defense of their most expensive, most important, and most beloved property. But as it became increasingly clear that no one legal or military institution could fully control it, would-be victims desperately sought a solution that would spare their farms and families from the calamitous loss of a horse. For some, that solution was violence. Never Caught Twice shows how the story of horse stealing across western Nebraska and the Great Plains was in many ways the story of the old West itself.
