Where others saw only sage, a salt lake, and a great desert, the
Mormons saw their “lovely Deseret,” a land of lilacs,
honeycombs, poplars, and fruit trees. Unwelcome in Ohio, Missouri,
and Illinois, they migrated to the dry lands between the Rockies
and the Sierra Nevada to establish Mormon country, a wasteland made
green. Like the land the Mormons settled, their habits stood in
stark contrast to the frenzied recklessness of the American West.
Opposed to the often prodigal individualism of the West, Mormons
lived in closely knit – some say ironclad
– communities. The story of Mormon country is one of
self-sacrifice and labor spent in the search for an ideal in the
most forbidding territory of the American West. Richard W. Etulain
provides a new introduction to this edition.
