Joseph Smith or Brigham Young's Contributions to the Mormon Movement Many settlers travelled east, but the most important religious group to travel east was the Mormons. The Mormon religion was started by a person called Joseph Smith. A Smith grew up on his farm, angles appeared telling him there was a book (written upon golden plates) on a hillside near Manchester, New York. Once dug up, the plates were published in a translated version, which contained statements of his father and brothers
American Attack on Omaha and Utah Beaches During D Day It was 1944, and the United States had now been an active participant in the war against Nazi Germany for almost three and a half years, nearly six years for the British. During that period occurred a string of engagements fought with ferocious determination and intensity on both sides. There is however, one day which stands out in the minds of many American servicemen more often than others. June 6, 1944, D-Day, was a day in which thousands
until 1844 is where the trouble begin when a local newspaper who was frightened of smith who was growing in power wanted to exposed the polygamy practice which started and uproar.

Two events took place in the mid-19th century in the United States that set the stage for a third which became an historic turning point in American history. The settlement of Mormons in Utah and their pursuit to establish their own government coupled with explorations to develop the transcontinental railroad laid the groundwork for the massacre of Captain John Gunnison and his explorers in 1853 which took eight lives. As massacres go, the loss of eight people was not numerically remarkable. What
are the great unknown. Most of us are brought up in a particular environment with a particular type of people. For example, let me give you some statistics that I got from the US Census Bureau, on a large scale we have a total of 2,100,562 people in Utah, 1,999,509 of which are white that is 95%. There is only 18,613 total blacks, that is not even 1% of the population. The other majority is of course the Hispanic population but they also only have about 4%. So we may come in contact with these other
Traveling across the country in ten days or less depending on the distance. With four-hundred fast horses, one-hundred and ninety stations, and about eighty riders. People could connect with loved ones who have moved or tell important people about wars coming, or news about the government. The Pony Express helped people get the word travel faster than it ever has before.
By the end the Pony Express had lost around $200,000. The Indian war cost the company $75,000. Following the 1860 presidential election trying to prove what the Pony Express could do a rider lest on November 7, to bring the news of Lincoln's election despite the heavy snow and harsh conditions the riders made it to Sacramento

"Bleeding Kansas." In 1856, Mormon leaders furnished handcarts to immigrants who intended to cross the plains. On May 24, John Brown and his son killed 5 proslavery men at Pottamatomie Creek in Kansas. In 1857, U.S. troops were sent to Utah to put down a Mormon rebellion. An expedition led by Albert Sidney Johnston and guided by James Bridger explored the Yellowstone river valley. In 1858, John Butterfield opened an overland stage route. On May 2nd, marathon horse riding became
Technology is a Friend of Humankind Technology is important in our world today. Terry Tempest William’s “The Clan of One-breasted Women” is about women having breast cancer because of bomb testing from 1952- 1961 in Utah. In this case technology has a negative effect on the human race. On the other hand, “The Technology of Medicine” by Lewis Thomas is about money and the technology of medicine. There are three different levels of technology in medicine according to Thomas and they are “nontechnology
Utah is an amazing state. Utah is home to the Blue Spruce, California Gull, and the Sego Lily. Utah has so many explorers, settlers, famous people, and events, as well as the beautiful geography, important cities, and interesting facts. It is so famous for it’s snow. The state nickname is a state that has something for everyone. Famous Explorers were determined to inhabit Utah. In 1776, Dominique and Escalante, spanish missionaries, were the first to record the exploration of Utah. Then in
My wife and I had decided that it was time for a new car. For the past 3 years I had been driving a hand-me-down 2001 Chrysler Concorde and my wife was driving our 2006 Dodge Magnum. As time went by the Concorde began to have one problem after another. The engine had over 200,000 miles and it was obvious by the way that it drove. I could feel it start to break down. The Magnum was a good and dependable car, but it was not suitable for the amount of driving that my wife had to do for her work.
The Fundamental Mormons are a subculture with a worldwide population under 60,000 primarily located throughout the Western United States and Western Canada. While the Fundamental Mormons set themselves apart with their interpretation of scripture and isolation from society, it is the unusual practice of plural marriage that sets them apart. The practice of polygamy was abandoned in the 1800’s in an effort for the Mormon religion to adjust to the behaviors of the dominant culture. The abandonment
"He looks just like me. Mom, I should have tried to see him." These were my words as I looked at my biological father lying in his coffin. His name was Larry James, and he lived in Utah. I hadn't seen him in years. It was during the spring of last year. The evening was quiet, and I was trying to concentrate on my chemistry homework, which was becoming incredibly tedious. The sudden ring of the phone broke the calm. Nobody yelled downstairs, so I knew it wasn't for me. However, after a few minutes
Utah Are you thinking about a place to travel with not a lot of time in a plane? How about bundles of fun attractions? Is shopping what you do best? Maybe you’re more of a nature person. If any of these describe you than you would have a blast in Utah! I think that the history of Utah is really interesting. In the 1600’s Indians had come in the area. 224 years later Jim Bridger discovered the Great Salt Lake. After that in 1847 the Mormon pioneers came to Utah and only 3 years later it became part
spinning maneuver preformed while driving a vehicle. Three is the normality of the question, “Do you have fry sauce?” in different states. Even distances as short as Utah to Idaho can have differences in how they pronounce certain words. The word “ketchup”, for instance, is pronounced regularly with a short “e” sound here in Idaho. But down in Utah, which is where I am from,...
ways I can make myself better. This is some of what reflecting on my life and looking ahead while reading Buscaglia has taught me. A. "You Cannot give to anybody what you do not have." I went to Juab High School in the small town of Nephi, Utah. Like many other small town high schools, football coaches and P.E. teachers doubled as Algebra teachers and Science teachers. This allowed our school to make full use of the limited teachers and resources that it had. There was a lot of talented
Determining how the salt levels change as you get further away from the Great Salt Lake *I did get permission to get samples from the Great Salt Lake. I only got 4 ounces of each 5 samples. So, I only took 20 ounces total Background of the Great Salt Lake The great Salt Lake has about 4.5 to 4.9 billion tons. The reason why the Great Salt Lake is so salty is because it doesn’t have an outlet attach to it. Since it as so much salt, it cannot support fish and most of the aquatic specie, but there
