4.       Bagley, Will. BLOOD OF THE PROPHETS. Brigham Young and the Massacre at Mountain Meadows. University of Oklahoma Press, Norman, 2002, 1st edition, tall 8vo., tan cloth, pict. dustjacket, 493pp., illus. The massacre at Mountain Meadows on September 11, 1857, was the single most violent act to occur on the overland trails, yet it has been all but forgotten. Will Bagley’s Blood of the Prophets is the most extensive investigation of the events surrounding the mass killings since Juanita Brooks published her groundbreaking study. At Mountain Meadows, local settlers and Southern Paiute warriors waylaid the Fancher party, a wagon train bound from Arkansas to California. Pinned down in a circle of wagons in a remote corner of southwestern Utah, some forty men, thirty women, and seventy children fought for their lives for five days before surrendering under a promise of safe conduct. As the Mormon militia and their Indian allies escorted the emigrants away from their wagons, they killed all of them except seventeen children below the age of seven. Bagley draws on unpublished journals, letters, and documents from Mormon archives as well as from accounts by Mormons who opposed subsequent efforts to cover up or expunge the record. He explains how the murders occurred, reveals the involvement of territorial governor Brigham Young, and explores the subsequent suppression and distortion of the events surrounding the massacre. Also included here are maps and photographs never before published. Maybe the most important book published about the Mountain Meadow Massacre since Juanita Brooks' book.

This extraordinary book about an extraordinary woman weaves together three stories--the remarkable career of a woman in a man's profession during the early 20th century; the creation of a building and interior style drawn from regional history and landscape; and the exploitation, largely at the hands of the railroads, of the American Southwest for leisure travel.

20.    Dutton, Capt. Clarence E.  THE PHYSICAL GEOLOGY OF THE GRAND CAÑON DISTRICT. GPO, Washington, 1882, 4to., original brown cloth, 588pp., index, illus. In the USGS Second Annual Report, 1880-81. This monograph alone occupies 117 pages, with numerous illus. by Thomas Moran, W. H. Holmes, and others, including several foldouts apparently borrowed from Dutton's monumental TERTIARY HISTORY OF THE GRAND CAÑON DISTRICT and its related Atlas. This superb paper is one of several in the same volume, including Gilbert's "History of Lake Bonneville," Emmon's "Geology of Leadville," and Becker's "Geology of the Comstock Lode." Each of these, including the Dutton, is an abbreviated version of a longer monograph later published separately by the USGS. The Dutton paper, a condensation of his TERTIARY, has received little notice in Canyon studies and bibliographies. Farquhar does not mention it. Yet it has to be one of the key documents in Canyon literature. And as it is less scarce than the TERTIARY, it is more accessible to collectors. This copy has the large full-color map of the Green, San Juan and Colorado Rivers. Rebound using original boards, new spine with original title laid on, a nice copy.

"One of the greatest, if not the very greatest of all Grand Canyon books..." The atlas, containing the superb panoramic views by William H. Holmes and a drawing by Thomas Moran, is a rich portfolio of art as well as a collection of maps and an exposition of geology." [Farquhar] This work was important both as a work of art and as the scientific foundation upon which subsequent mapping was based, making it one of the most popular cartographic works devoted to the Grand Canyon. This set ranks No. 1 among all titles most avidly sought by River-Canyon collectors. Farquhar 73. Atlas and Monograph.

"Eddy ran the [Colorado] river at high water in the summer of 1927 and followed in November with a run of the Grand Canyon in low water. His crew, mostly college men, were novices on the river with the exception of Parley Galloway, son of the great riverman Nat Galloway. Their experiences were in marked contrast with those of most other voyagers, for every mile seems to have presented a life and death issue.

Tracks of extinct quadrupeds were first discovered in the Grand Canyon in 1915, in the Coconino Sandstone on the Hermit Trail. In 1924, the site was visited by Dr. John C. Merriam, president of Carnegie Institution, who made a small collection of tracks which later were presented to the U.S. National Museum. Merriam conceived the idea of making casts of these footprints, on the site, for a permanent exhibit for the Museum. The project involved casting a series of slabs, some weighing nearly two tons! Gilmore, then Curator of Vertebrate Paleontology at the Museum, was assigned to the task, and this is his report. Later, at least two more parts were added to this report. The first contribution includes 39 text pages with 23 figures, plus 10 bright, clean photo plates from site of the footprints, and of Museum staff at work on the project.

37.    Henrie, Samuel Nyal (edited by). WRITINGS OF JOHN D. LEE. Fenestra Books, Tucson, 2001, 1st edition, 8vo., pict. wraps, 427pp., engravings, bibliography. This is a major collection of historical documents by John D. Lee and his contemporaries, written in the 1870s, some published here for the first time. It includes Lee's Life (autobiography), Confession (Mountain Meadows Massacre), Arrest, Trial Excerpts and Imprisonment, Poems and Letters, Last Words to his families, Execution, and ongoing efforts toward reconciliation. John Doyle Lee lived a life of heroic proportions. He was a leader of uncommon energy and courage in a movement that helped shape the western United States. Brigham Young is reported to have said that Lee was the most competent frontiersman and settler that he had ever known. On a human scale, Lee was considered by most of those who knew him to be an intelligent, kind and even tender-hearted man who shared his food, shelter, knowledge and respect with everyone who needed it. He was a friend and teacher to the Indian tribes. He was a polygamist who married nineteen wives and fathered sixty-five children. But Lee's life ended in tragedy, as he took the blame for one of the most infamous atrocities of frontier history, The Mountain Meadows Massacre of 1857. Hounded into exile in the remote Grand Canyon and Navajo Country, he built and operated Lee's Ferry and Lee's Lonely Dell, now an historic monument. Eventually, he was arrested, imprisoned and brought to trial in federal courts twice, convicted, and executed by firing squad on the very site of the Massacre, on March 23, 1877. A witness to both inspiring and degrading events, John D. Lee recorded irreplaceable history in his Journals and other writings throughout his life. This book contains important Lee writings that have not been published in full since 1891, as well as supporting historical documents, some of which have not been published previously. For the editor and compiler, Samuel Nyal Henrie, Jr., publication of this volume fulfills a lifelong ambition to see John D. Lee's own composed writings made available to all those who share an intense interest in Frontier Biography, the History of Settlement of the West, and Americana. He holds a doctorate from the University of California at Berkeley, and is Professor Emeritus in the Humanities at Prescott College. The first edition (2001) of this title was only available in paperback. Both hardback and paperback were available in 2002. Scarce in first edition and it is also SIGNED by the editor.

Moreover, the illustrations are remarkable: those from Möllhausen's sketches are often admirable...two from photographs represent perhaps the first use of the camera in Arizona, certainly on the Colorado River."

James loved the Canyon, and made many visits there over the years. "Because so much of the book records personal experiences it has special historical value." (Farquhar). In the course of his research, James interviewed many of the personalities now enshrined in Canyon history, among them W. W. Bass, and Emma Lee, one of John D. Lee's widows (his last and favorite wife). James recounts the Mountain Meadows Massacre story, and includes the text of a letter written to Emma by Lee from prison in Beaver City, Utah, on Sept. 21, 1876.

Katie was among a handful of people who knew the 170 miles of Glen Canyon very well. She had made 16 trips down the river, even named some of the side canyons. Glen Canyon and the river that ran through it had changed her life. So it is not surprising that she has never gotten over her horror and disbelief at the destruction of this exquisite Eden under millions of gallons of water behind Glen Canyon Dam. Here, Katie tells us what there was to love about Glen Canyon and why we should miss it. The canyon had great personal significance for her: She had gone to Hollywood to make her career as an actress and a singer, but the river kept calling her back, showing her a better life. She very eloquently weaves her personal story into her breathtaking descriptions of the trips she made down the canyon. Out of print in hardback. VG+ in VG+ dustjacket.

December 1, 1868. W. B. Selheimer, Printer, Philadelphia, 1869, 8vo., original grey wraps in tan cloth clamshell box, large tipped in map, 250pp., illus., and profile. Farquhar: "Although most of the territory dealt with is not in the Colorado basin, nevertheless two features secure for it a place in the present roster. First, the comprehensive map on which a marked improvement is shown in plotting the course of the river and on which 'Grand Canyon' appears for the first time as a place name. (Credit for this observation goes to Otis Marston, river rat and historian of the Colorado River and the Grand Canyon. If an earlier appearance of 'Grand Canyon' as a specific name for this feature is found it will be an interesting discovery.) Second, a few pages by C. C. Parry, geologist, devoted to an 'Account of the passage of the Great Cañon of the Colorado, from above the mouth of Green River to the head of steamboat navigation at Callville, in the months of August and September, 1867, by James White, now living at Callville.'

Howes (P527) calls this "The first complete narrative" [of Powell's famed transit of the Colorado river]; his earlier reports were largely devoted to scientific data." Scores of this edition's illustrations appeared first, and probably only, in this account. Farquhar (43) gives the Meadville a separate listing because "it differs in so many respects from the report of 1875...Not only has the narrative been revised and augmented, but there are several new chapters and a great many new illustrations. Included in the latter are adaptations from the superb sketches of William H. Holmes which are featured in the Dutton atlas. Altogether, it is a handsome book, and also a scarce one." "Scarce" is an understatement: it is believed, by some Powell experts, and by Van Allen Bradley, that only a hundred or so copies of the Meadville ever reached the marketplace, so the copy offered here may be literally "one in a hundred." Darrah, in his POWELL OF THE COLORADO, says the Major was handsomely paid for his writing. He planned, said Darrah, to save the money toward purchase of a summer cottage "on some rocky shore of the ocean." Powell ultimately made this dream come true. He passed away in his Haven, Maine waterfront cottage in 1902. Farquhar 43.

Reprint of the complete text, including maps, plus Stegner's introduction and notes by Stegner, and a chronology of Powell's life. Landmark study of water in the American West - Wallace Stegner stated, "it would ultimately be recognized as one of the most important books ever written about the West." Any discussion of water in the American West begins with this Report. And as the late bookseller Jack Rittenhouse noted in his Catalogue 83, "The study of Western ecology probably begins with this report, for Powell foresaw that timber and rivers should be handled with care." "This is Powell's finest book, written after he had seen the Mormon's successfully irrigating the Southwest region, especially Utah. It is mostly concerned with water. The Report is among the great classics of western history, showing the developmental possibilities of the arid regions of the West" – Paher 1581. Powell's report is also notable for the large folding map of Utah Territory. Stegner states "there is a clear line of development" from Powell's Report "to the multi-purpose river-control installations and the multi-bureau federal administration of the Public Domain that we have known through much of the twentieth century and especially since the nineteen-thirties."

Thompson's work recorded in this diary falls into three sections: navigation of the Green-Colorado with Major Powell in 1871-1872; exploratory traverse from Kanab to the mouth of the Fremont River; and the systematic mapping of central, eastern and southern Utah, and of Arizona north of the Grand Canyon. Of much interest to Canyon-River buffs are Thompson's notes of the second Powell expedition from Green River, Wyoming, to Kanab Creek recorded here including the winter layover at Lee's Ferry and travel to Kanab.

This and Vol. XVI-XVII are widely regarded as the "Big Three" in Powell research material published by the Utah Historical Society. William Culp Darrah, one of two Major Powell biographers (Stegner is the other, at that time), wrote a number of biographical sketches for Vol. XV, and edited several important source documents as well. Among the latter are George Y. Bradley's journal, Powell's letters to the Chicago Tribune, letters of W. H. Powell to the Chicago Evening Journal, letters of O. G. Howland to the Rocky Mountain News, J. C. Sumner's journal, Powell's journal, and several others. Of special significance is the appearance of Capt. Francis Marion Bishop's journal, edited by Charles Kelly. Bishop, a student of Powell at Illinois Wesleyan, was picked by the Major as topographer on the second expedition (Dellenbaugh was named assistant topographer). Bishop's letters to the Bloomington Pantograph also are reproduced. The volume includes six maps, and a number of significant illus., and a photo "Steps Cut by Father Escalante [and Dominguez] in 1776."

Farquhar: "These volumes are grouped together as they form a unit in the documentary history of the Powell survey. Valuable source material." This and Vol. XV which preceded it are widely regarded as the "Big Three" in Powell research material published by the Utah Historical Society. Dale Morgan, in his intro. to Vol. XVI-XVII states: "With this volume of its Quarterly the (Society) completes one of its most ambitious and most important projects, the publication of the original journals of the Powell expeditions of 1869-72." The Table of Contents reads like a Who's Who of Powelliana and River Lore. There's Dr. Herbert Gregory, editing the journal of Stephen Vandiver Jones; William Culp Darrah, editing John F. Steward's journal; Charles Kelly, performing the same task for Walter Clement Powell; Darrah again for Beaman, Fennemore, Hillers, Dellenbaugh, Johnson, and Hattan papers, and an appendix containing three Andrew Hall letters (again, Darrah). Preceding each journal is a biography of the author, in each case by the editor. There are 11 historically significant photos, a frontispiece in color by Dellenbaugh, and a map of the Green and Colorado to the mouth of the Virgin. If one had to list half-a-dozen of the most important books on the Powell expedition and the River, apart from the Major's own accounts, these UHQ titles would rank among them. Farquhar 47b. Scarce.

"May I add a tiny portion to Colorado River history?" says the author's preface. "Here is my story of a float trip down part of the river before the disastrous Glen Canyon Dam was built." In a 10-man raft bought for $45 at Army Surplus, the Sprangs embarked at Hite for Kane Creek, 120 miles downstream. This is her journal, delightfully illustrated. Stegner praised the book thus: "Her log of a leisurely raft journey down that most beautiful of river reaches was written as an almost breathless celebration. It is published now as a requiem for something incomparable that we gave up for a little electric power and a tame lake to water ski on." Ford 150a. Scarce. Lightly cocked o/w a VG or better copy.

Much on the who-came-first James White vs. J.W. Powell imbroglio. Farquhar: "A highly important book, but one not to be evaluated without a careful examination not only of the subject matter of the controversies but of the origin of the book itself. The controversies are: the raft journey of James White, and the affair at Separation Rapids. These are but fragments from Stanton's truly prodigious researches..."

An impressive job of scholarship, providing insights into the problems facing Powell, both on the Colorado River and in Washington, and sketching the great figures of the day, both scoundrels and saints.

It kept the dams out of Dinosaur, and comments Stegner, "if it had known its own strength might have kept the Glen Canyon Dam out of Glen Canyon. Its political strength left the Green and Yampa flowing free." By any measure, a landmark book. Ford 165.

These were published from the mid-1920s to the mid-1940s. The pages from these magazines are collectible themselves. His cartoons of the Hopi children and animals are just delightful. Farquhar 125.
