An Akan proverb says, "It is not wrong to go back for that which
you have forgotten." This belief underlies historian Amy Tanner
Thiriot's work in Slavery in Zion. The total number of those
enslaved during Utah's past has remained an open question for many
years. Due to the nature of nineteenth-century records,
particularly those about enslaved peoples, an exact number will
never be known, but while writing this book, Thiriot documented
around one hundred enslaved or indentured Black men, women, and
children in Utah Territory. Using a combination of genealogical and
historical research, the book brings to light events and
relationships misunderstood for well over a century. Section One
provides an introductory history, chapters on southern and western
experiences, and information on life after emancipation. Section
Two is a biographical encyclopedia with names, relationships, and
experiences. Although this book contains material applicable to
legal history and the history of race and Mormonism, its most
important goal is to be a treasury of the experiences of Utah's
enslaved Black people so their stories can become an integral part
of the history of Utah and the American West, no longer forgotten
or written out of history.
