This is the compelling story of Thomas Durham(1828-1909), who left
England during the Industrial Revolution, came to America, and
travelled 1300 miles by handcart with other Mormons in the
ill-fated Martin company to the Utah Territory. Overcoming
hardships, he arrived as promised in a blessing, "by the skin of
his teeth." This is the story of how one pioneer triumphed over
hardship, established a settlement in a new territory, became a
renowned musician and teacher, local businessman and leader. The
first section of his story is told by his son, Alfred M. Durham.
Written in 1936 for the Daughters of Utah Pioneers, it is a brief
sketch of his life, learned from first-hand telling of stories and
reminisces. The second section is Thomas Durham's personal journal
which was written by his own hand beginning in 1854 and ending in
1871 and is published here for the first time. Both sections have
been edited and annotated to give a comprehensive historical
background.
Sometimes it takes a villain to save you from the monsters... Join
fearless heroine Rye as she uncovers the truth about a clan of

band of men Riley O'Chanter has ever met - and her father,
Harmless, is their high chief. Having been in exile for ten years
the Luck Uglies are back in Village Drowning, but bringing them out
of the shadows and back together was has thrown up new dangers.
There is bad blood between Rye's father, and a sinister masked man
named Slinister Varlet. As Harmless and Slinister vie for control
of their men, Rye finds herself caught up in their dangerous game.

and smugglers and the stage is set for another page-turning
