Book Description
Most travelers to Utah during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, especially those from Europe, were curious about the state's community of Latter-day Saints, with their "seventeen-strong families with only one man " Here, editor Michael W. Homer has collected the writings of some of those European travelers, breaking new ground by ignoring the tradition of including only the predictably benign views of English gentlemen. "On the Way to Somewhere Else "includes such colorful perspectives towards the Mormons as those of an outraged Catholic priest, an intrigued German prince, a liberated Frenchwoman, and a devout French convert, many of who had visits with the man they called the "Pope of Mormonism," Brigham Young.The European visitors encountered not only devout Mormons, but other lively characters of the American West, from fur traders to Indians to soldiers. Originally a volume in the series "Kingdom in the West: The Mormons and the American Frontier," this new printing of On the Way to Somewhere Else captures almost one hundred years of varied perceptions, revealing an unexpected glimpse into the physical development of Utah and the political evolution of Mormonism.

Book Description
In 1849, William R. Goulding and the Knickerbocker Exploring Company struck out for California on the southern route--a road less traveled. This rare first-person diary of the southern Gold Rush trails, introduced and annotated by Patricia A. Etter, highlights an important alternative route to the Pacific Coast. One of the best-educated Gold Rush participants, Goulding kept a remarkably articulate journal that recounts his meetings with the interesting and important people he encountered along the way. He describes the details of the trail itself--the weather and scenery, birds and animals, and a march "amidst heards [sic] of miriads of buffalo in all directions as far as the eyes could reach." Goulding also recorded encounters with Hispanics and American Indians.

Everything in this book is taken from 1848 and 1849 Eastern newspapers. Articles, editorials, sermons, poetry, songs, advertisements -- and letters from the multitudes who were striving toward California via the Isthmus of Panama, around Cape Horn, through the Strait of Magellan, across the plains, the Gila River route, and via Mexico and Nicaragua. Here is the California Gold Rush -- upheaval, adventure, suffering, death, wonderful success, and tragic failure -- the record of the great event of the age.
