Utah and the American Civil War : The Written Record Kenneth Alford

TITLE: Utah and the American Civil War: The Written Record AUTHOR: edited by Kenneth L. Alford PUBLISHER: The Arthur H. Clark Co., imprint of University of Oklahoma Press (2017) CONDITION: New hardcover in original shrinkwrap. PUBLISHER’S DESCRIPTION: When Fort Sumter was attacked in April 1861, hundreds of soldiers were stationed at the U.S. Army’s Camp Floyd, forty miles southwest of Salt Lake City. The camp, established in June 1858, was the nation’s largest military post. Utah and the American Civil War presents a wealth of primary sources pertaining to the territory’s participation in the Civil War—material that until now has mostly been scattered, incomplete, or difficult to locate. Organized and annotated for easy use, this rich mix of military orders, dispatches, letters, circulars, battle and skirmish reports, telegraph messages, command lists, and other correspondence shows how Utah’s wartime experience was shaped by a peculiar blend of geography, religion, and politics. Editor Kenneth L. Alford opens the collection with a year-by-year summary of important events in Utah Territory during the war, with special attention paid to the army’s recall from Utah in 1861, the Lot Smith Utah Cavalry Company’s 107-day military service, the Union army’s return in 1862, and relations between the military and Mormons. Readers will find accounts of an 1861 attempt to court-martial a Virginia-born commander for treason, battle reports from the January 1863 Bear River Massacre, documents from the army’s high command authorizing Governor James Doty to enlist additional Utah troops in October 1864, and evidence of Colonel Patrick Edward Connor’s personal biases against Native Americans and Mormons. A glossary of nineteenth-century phrases, military terms, and abbreviations, along with a detailed timeline of key historical events, places the records in historical context. Collected and published together for the first time, these records document the unique role Utah played in the Civil War and reveal the war’s influence, both subtle and overt, on the emerging state of Utah. SHIPPING: Book is thick and heavy, thus the higher S/H. Item ships as is (no refunds, exchanges, or returns). Shipping is by USPS Media Mail.

About the Book:William Adams (“Wild Bill”) Hickman was one of the most infamous outlaws of the nineteenth-century American frontier. Serving as a bodyguard and spy for Mormon church presidents Joseph Smith and Brigham Young, Hickman gained notoriety as a so-called “destroying angel.” His role in frontier justice and church loyalty, however, remains a subject of debate among historians. Some argue he acted in the interest of the church, while others contend he often operated independently as a true renegade. Hickman adhered to the Mormon practice of polygamy, marrying ten wives and fathering thirty-five children. His lifestyle and actions made him a divisive figure both within and outside the Mormon community. During the Utah War of 1857-58, Hickman played a prominent role as a guerilla fighter. His hit-and-run tactics significantly contributed to the Mormon resistance, frustrating the advancing U.S. Army. However, his loyalty to the church unraveled when he was arrested for the murder of a government arms dealer during the conflict. Under pressure, Hickman implicated Brigham Young, a decision that led to his excommunication and a complete severance of ties with the church president. Branded a pariah, Hickman faced widespread condemnation. When Hickman died in Wyoming in 1883, his controversial reputation lingered. Many of his relatives were compelled to change their names to avoid the stigma associated with him, and the town in which he died refused to inter his remains in the local cemetery. Despite his tarnished legacy, Hickman’s life exemplifies the rough and often brutal realities of frontier life. Whether viewed as a loyal Mormon or an unrestrained outlaw, Hickman’s actions and legend left an indelible mark on the history of the American West and the establishment of the Mormon settlement in the Rocky Mountains.
