At Sword's Point, Part 1

A Documentary History of the Utah War to 1858

By: William P. MacKinnon

The Utah War of 1857–58, the unprecedented armed confrontation between Mormon Utah Territory and the U.S. government, was the most extensive American military action between the Mexican and Civil wars. At Sword’s Point presents in two volumes the first in-depth narrative and documentary history of that extraordinary conflict. William P. MacKinnon offers a lively narrative linking firsthand accounts—most previously unknown—from soldiers and civilians on both sides. This first volume traces the war’s causes and preliminary events, including President Buchanan’s decision to replace Brigham Young as governor of Utah and restore federal authority through a large army expedition. Also examined are Young’s defensive-aggressive reactions, the onset of armed hostilities, and Thomas L. Kane’s departure at the end of 1857 for his now-famous mediating mission to Utah. MacKinnon provides a balanced, comprehensive account, based on a half century of research and a wealth of carefully selected new material. Women’s voices from both sides enrich this colorful story. At Sword’s Point presents the Utah War as a sprawling confrontation with regional and international as well as territorial impact. As a nonpartisan definitive work, it eclipses previous studies of this remarkably bloody turning point in western, military, and Mormon history.

Who Let the Mongoose Loose?

By: William H. Tyler

The forest animals are all atwitter. Theyve heard theres a mongoose loose in their midst. Many of these forest occupants are afraid of the mongoose, who is said to be very brave, very quick, and even faster than its fiercest enemy, the snake. In a fight the mongoose almost always wins, and the animals dont want any part of that battle. Written in lively verse with 25 colorful illustrations, Who Let the Mongoose Loose Last Night? tells what happens when a feisty mongoose comes to a typical North American forest. The little foreign creature upsets the harmony of a peaceful animal community in an unexpected way.. Of course, the mongoose upsets the snake; thats what mongooses do. And when the snake jumps down a hole, that definitely upsets a mole. This sets off a chain reaction among all the skittish inhabitants of the forest. The lively imaginations of the animals defy realityrapidly leading to the absurd belief that The world is actually turning inside out!.

The Little Wolf Cubs? Christmas Gift

By: William H. Tyler

On a crisp, snowy day in December, four playful wolf cubs set out to find a Christmas tree for their mountain den. They scamper and scurry, as wolf cubs will do. And their feathered friend WorryBird flutters and mutters with concern for their safety. She now worries more than usual because they are coming dangerously close to where the giant bear Garrumble is sleeping through the winter. Or is he? The stillness of the forest is shattered by a frightful ROAR rumbling through the mountains. "Garrowl! Garrumble!" I've got you now!" snarls the angry, hungry bear. Crashing, smashing though the trees. The snow is deep, slowing the small cubs. But then, what happens? Something unexpected. Something quite surprising, which makes even WorryBird ... less worried. As we will learn, Christmas is a magic time ... with magical influences.

Massachusetts in the Civil War

By: William Schouler

Massachusetts played a prominent part in the Civil War. From beginning to end, it furnished soldiers, sailors and financial aid for the federal government. It also provided ideas for the nation, ideas scoffed at in the early years of the conflict, but later accepted as the war was brought to a successful end. William Schouler was born in Scotland in 1814 and emigrated to America with his family as a young child. He was an ardent student and reader, deeply interested in politics and writing. He was named Adjutant General for Massachusetts in 1860 by then Governor Banks. He served for seven years, through the war, and was honored for his services by the state government. William Schouler died in 1872.
