Book Description
While her two sons -- little quicksilver elves, as she called them -- explored the red-rock bluffs and copied Piute face paintings, and while her husband Tom -- Civil War veteran and long-time friend of Mormons -- hobnobbed with the likes of adventurer Jacob Hamblin, Elizabeth Kane befriended the women of St. George. She found that they lived a strange idyllic life but nevertheless made her feel very much at home. Her diary comments on the food (the wine is horrid), an unpretentious but enjoyable cotillion ball, and her discovery that Mormon sermons are as dry and ... orthodox as any I have heard (in Philadelphia).Around the evening hearth Elizabeth's hosts told stories of Nephite wanderers and other beliefs. Artemisia Beaman Snow remembered the Palmyra mystic named Walters who, after trying unsuccessfully to obtain the gold plates from the Hill Cumorah, relinquished the task to his successor, Joseph Smith.In comparison to the people of St. George, she found those in Salt Lake City to be vulgar imitations of the best men and women, the most earnest in their belief, the most self-denying and 'primitive Christian' in their behavior clad in the homespun garments of the remote settlements.

Book Description
Special Collections & Archives at Dixie State University has a wealth of rarely seen photographs. Most of the images curated in this book have not been seen by the public. Two Dixie State University librarians, Kathleen Broeder, head of Special Collections & Archives, and Dianne Aldrich, head of Library Public Services, seek to pass on their knowledge of local history and to open the vault to share these remarkable images with the world.--Adapted from back cover.
