Bartholomew, Rebecca; AUDACIOUS WOMEN - Early British Mormon Immigrants
Signature Books, Salt Lake City, UT: Paperback, New,
Brand new softcover book! Never been read! ; Victorians loved to hear stories about the secret lives of Mormon women. Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, Joaquin Miller, A. Conan Doyle, and others fed the public's curiosity with tale after tale. Naive Manchester shopgirls seduced by lecherous missionaries, illiterate Liverpudlian fishwives shanghaied into domestic slavery in Utah--these were the stories that shaped public opinion. What was the truth behind such stereotypes? In fact, most female immigrants to Utah were former shopgirls, factory workers, and home pieceworkers in London and Manchester, and many were illiterate. Were they also naive adventuresses? Bartholomew fleshes out real-life profiles of these pioneering women through available letters, diaries, and public documents. They were by-and-large devout, and most of them approached their uncertain future with their eyes wide open. At minimum, they were least vaguely aware of what their religious commitment would entail. So if they did not fulfill Victorian fantasies of young concubines who had been abducted into desert harems, what about the romanticized icons of Mormon inspirational literature? Writes Rebecca Bartholomew: "These women made mistakes. But if they were not angels, neither were they fools. They are likable. Their lives had meaning. They demonstrated that virtue has unlikely habitats and could even sprout in that spiritual chamber of horrors, that Eden betrayed, that whited sepulchre, Mormondom. " ; 6" x 9"; 304 pages,

Bartholomew, Rebecca and Arrington, Leonard J.; RESCUE OF THE 1856 HANDCART COMPANIES
Signature Books, Salt Lake City, UT: Paperback, New,
Brand new softcover book! Never been read! ; Thirteen years before the railroad was built, approximately 2,000 Utah-bound immigrants reached Iowa City only to find that they could not afford rigs and teams for the remaining overland trek. So these resourceful Europeans decided to strike out for the promised land on foot, pulling makeshift, hand-drawn carts—oxen-like—approximately 1,000 miles across the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains. Three out of five companies arrived safely, while another two became bogged down in early winter snows in Wyoming. When Brigham Young heard about their plight, he complained about their lack of judgment and preparation, but he dispatched search parties to try to locate them and provide safe passage, knowing the rescuers would risk their own lives in the process. When the immigrant companies were found, many had died and the rest were near starvation. The survivors were resuscitated and gathered together to trudge through the mounting snow drifts the remaining distance to Salt Lake City. A noteworthy aspect of the handcart pioneers' diaries is that none expressed regret, either for their own decisions or for the stigma that was attached to them for their ineptitude and lack of funds. Instead they tell of their hardships in a matter-of-fact way, including all the harsh details, while also articulating their remarkable determination and faith, and expressing gratitude for their intrepid rescuers. A Salt Lake City memorial commemorates their achievement. The handcart has become an icon that represents the collective heroism of all those who walked the Mormon trail, despite the fact that some carried a disproportionately heavier load than others, most notably the handcart immigrants. This book tells the true story behind the legend. ; Charles Redd monographs in western history series no. 11 Series; 6" x 9"; 72 pages,
