Tyler, Sgt. Daniel; A CONCISE HISTORY OF THE MORMON BATTALION IN THE MEXICAN WAR 1846-1847
Archive Publishers, 2000, Heber City, Utah: Paperback, New,
Brand new softcover book! Never been read! ; "This is a detailed account of the Mormon Battalion by a participant and a gifted writer who kept a faithful journal of the march. Recognized as the longest military march in modern history, the reader is taken through the painful separation of Battalion members from their families during the exodus from Nauvoo, into the unexplored and waterless Southwest, and finally to their arrival and subsequent activities in California. Sgt. Tyler is careful to note spiritual experiences amid the hardships of travel, sickness, and an overzealous medic who prescribed calomel for virtually all illnesses. He includes hundreds of vignettes revealing personalities of Battalion members, their pioneering of the Southwest, and their impact on the history of California - including the discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill. (See also B. H. Roberts' work, THE MORMON BATTALION: ITS HISTORY AND ACHIEVEMENTS, 1919) "; 5" x 8"; 376 pages,

Woods, Fred E.; A GAMBLE IN THE DESERT The Mormon Mission in Las Vegas (1855-1857)
Mormon Historic Sites Foundations, 2005, Orem, UT: Paperback, New,
Black softcover has image of native american on front. Excellent condition! Brand new! ; Until now, few have known the intriguing story of the remarkable but short lived effort of a band of hardy Latter-day Saints to create a settlement in Las Vegas during the mid-nineteenth century. Colonizer and prophet, Brigham Young, took a gamble when he established a mission at Las Vegas designated to teach and civilize the local Native Americans and to serve as a way station for travelers moving along the Mormon Corridor from Salt Lake City to Southern California. The stakes were high, the dice was rolled and like any game of chance there was a mixture of disappointment and success. A Gamble in the Desert is a must read for anyone who enjoys the adventures and thrills of western American history. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 219 pages,

Lyman, Edward Leo; Amasa Mason Lyman, Mormon Apostle and Apostate - A Study in Dedication
University of Utah Press, 2009, Hardcover, New in New dust jacket,
Brand new hardcover book! 46 illustrations. ; The early history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is filled with fascinating characters, but few led a more tumultuous life than Amasa Lyman. Though he has been largely forgotten, this new biography provides a unique and revealing account of the early days of Mormonism and Lyman’s role in creating that history. He served as a missionary in the “burned-over” district of upstate New York and in Ohio before moving to Kirtland, where he suffered in the infant church’s financial crisis. He participated in the conflicts with hostile Missourians and emigrated to Nauvoo, Illinois. There, he became a leader in the church and a close associate of Joseph Smith. Lyman then led a company of pioneers across Iowa to Winter Quarters and on to the Salt Lake Valley. He was sent to the California gold fields and led the colonization of San Bernardino, where he became its first mayor, before returning to Utah, and he traveled to Europe as head of the church’s European missions.
Having spent more than thirty years in the service of his church, Lyman began to move away from its teachings after a series of conflicts with its second leader, Brigham Young. Lyman was one of the first Mormons to criticize the Mountain Meadows Massacre, which led to his dismissal as an apostle. He was excommunicated in 1870 and became one of the foremost spokesmen of the Godbeite Church of Zion movement before his death in 1877. Author Edward Leo Lyman chronicles Amasa Lyman’s life and interactions with Mormon history with an honesty true to his ancestor’s freethinking spirit.
Edward Leo Lyman taught history at North High School, Victor Valley College, California Polytechnic University at Pomona, and California State University, San Bernardino. He is the author of Political Deliverance: The Mormon Quest for Utah Statehood and San Bernardino: The Rise and Fall of a California Community. ; 7" x 10"; 672 pages,
