Book Description
These poems survey the human spirit in a way that is both accessible and challenging. Even though he retains aspects of the wry, funny voice that inhabits his earlier work, Zimmer constructs a more mature collection, with a vision that explores limits, the difficulties of aging, and the inevitable presence of mortality. What is perhaps surprising is how often this vision is profoundly optimistic, despite the high price required to purchase it.

At Sword's Point, Part 1
Author: William P. MacKinnon
Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 0806157267
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 553
Book Description
The Utah War of 1857–58, the unprecedented armed confrontation between Mormon Utah Territory and the U.S. government, was the most extensive American military action between the Mexican and Civil wars. At Sword’s Point presents in two volumes the first in-depth narrative and documentary history of that extraordinary conflict. William P. MacKinnon offers a lively narrative linking firsthand accounts—most previously unknown—from soldiers and civilians on both sides. This first volume traces the war’s causes and preliminary events, including President Buchanan’s decision to replace Brigham Young as governor of Utah and restore federal authority through a large army expedition. Also examined are Young’s defensive-aggressive reactions, the onset of armed hostilities, and Thomas L. Kane’s departure at the end of 1857 for his now-famous mediating mission to Utah. MacKinnon provides a balanced, comprehensive account, based on a half century of research and a wealth of carefully selected new material. Women’s voices from both sides enrich this colorful story. At Sword’s Point presents the Utah War as a sprawling confrontation with regional and international as well as territorial impact. As a nonpartisan definitive work, it eclipses previous studies of this remarkably bloody turning point in western, military, and Mormon history.
