Ex-library with all the usual marks, withdrawn. ; James Henry Martineau?s journals are a rich historical resource. They present the life of a Mormon convert, a pioneer, and an individual dedicating his life in the service of his family, his country, and his church. More than the life of one man, these records reflect the everyday struggles of a people whose lives were in transition as they set the foundations of a new society. Martineau?s contributions to the settlements of northern and southern Utah, southern Idaho, southeast Arizona, and the Mormon colonies in northern Mexico are monumental. He was a civil engineer whose survey work left a lasting impression. Although not a prominent religious leader, he was a patriarch and was often in contact with or serving with those in authority. This volume offers a reflection of this common, yet uncommon, Latter-day Saint pioneer. ; 6" x 9"; 789 pages;
