Here at last is Brigham Young's own story in his own words, a compilation of his first-person writings from his manuscript history. This volume destroys once and for all the popular, but false image of Brigham Young as a tough, unspiriitual colonizer who had no business calling himself a prophet of God. A very different man is found in his journal writings--a simple man who liked to work with his hands, a humble man constantly seeking guidance from his God, a strong man ready to wrestle or fight in defense of his friends, an intelligent man who could debate effectively with professors and lawyers, an affectionate man with many friends, and a loyal ma who could be depended upon by his God and his people.

At the age of 10 Amos walked across the plains (1500 miles) from Missouri to Salt Lake City, Utah. As his pioneer company rested at Ft. Laramie he became fascinated with the Indians, a fascination that lasted a lifetime. He moved with his parents to Brigham City, Utah in 1854, and he and his brothers and sister played with the Indian children near their home. He learned from the Indians when he was young, and when not working or doing chores, he could usually be found in the Indian camp at the edge of town. As an adult he dressed in buckskins and moccasins and his hair was long most of the time. In May of 1855 and at the age of 15, Amos was called to be a missionary to the Indians for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS), commonly known as the Mormons. He and Lewis Shurtliff, along with a few others, were called to explore and settle the Salmon River country of Idaho. The company went by way of Bear River City, through Malad valley and crossed the Snake River at a point south of Idaho Falls. Arriving in the Salmon River valley a fort was established and stockades built. Early in the spring of 1856 crops were planted at what is now known as Ft. Lemhi. Mose's knowledge of the Shoshone Indian language served as a great help to him and his companions during their stay in that section, and later on in his life.

Literature & Fiction

Genre Fiction

In 1610, while the pligrims were tip-toeing onto the rocky New England coast, Spanish adventurers and Catholic priests were riding their mules north from Santa Fe in a quest for gold and baptisms. 
 One of the last adn largest Spanish settlements was located on what is now the Ute Indian Reservation at Rock Creek. According to Ute legends, the biggest slaughter of white men by Indians didn't occur at the Little Big Horn, but at Rock Creek, where in 1840 nearly one thousand Spaniards were slaughtered by Indians, ending once and for all the era of the Spanish gold seekers. 
 This story is about that last great battle, told through the eyes of Utah's favorite writer of historical fiction, Lee Nelson.

As the golden spike is driven in and the transcontinental railroad is officially finished, Sam Storm finds himself jobless - and attracted to a high-society beauty named Catherine. Thus Sam sets out to launch a daring business scheme involving firewater, stolen horses, and a dangerous journey that will make him rich enough to impress Catherine's doting father. When he returns to Salt Lake, however, Sam finds that wooing the lovely Catherine may be more difficult than just impressing her father. Nor can he forget the ravaged Shoshone village he passed through on his journey and the horrific scene he saw there. And when strange events begin to fit together to reveal a sinister plot, Sam must once again set off on an adventure - this time to discover the truth, and eventually to save the woman he loves.
