The Savage View: Charles Savage, Pioneer Mormon Photographer.

By BRADLEY W. RICHARDS. (Nevada City, Calif: Carl Mautz Publishing, 1995 x + 182 pp Cloth, $45.00; paper, $29.95.)

At last! Here is a work illuminating the life and work of a major figure in Utah's cultural history. For far too long the benevolent legend of C. R. Savage's photographic work and his liberal, caring presence in the larger Utah community have been passed along without serious critical examination. That deficiency is eased with Brad Richards's impressive book

Richards succeeds admirably in his intent, i.e., to present not a definitive source but "a benchmark for further research." Starting with a carefully drawn biography and continuing with a discussion of Savage's arrival in Zion, his early economic difficulties, and his mastery of camera skills, Richards makes the benchmark with a richly anecdotal account of Savage's mature years in Utah.

Had there been any lingering doubt as to Savage's place in the history of late nineteenth-century American photography, Richards's narrative erases it The business of making and marketing landscape and portrait photographs is fetchingly described Savage's relationships with other prominent photographers of his time is especially interesting and recalls Taft's chatty accounts of western photography and photographers.

Richards treats Savage's professional and personal successes and tragedies forthrightly, although his admiration for his subject skirts deification. Likeable as he was, Savage had warts largely ignored in the present work.

The eight-part essay is enhanced by well-chosen, well-placed, interesting photographs, many of them not widely available until now The essay is a pleasure to read.

Some fifty pages of nicely captioned photographs follow the biography as do three appendices containing genealogical information, travel summaries, and extracts from the Savage journals The cumulative effect of the book leaves the reader satisfied yet intrigued, hungry for more

A few quibbles suggest themselves: Must Utah's statehood struggles be summarized again? The effects of antiMormon attitudes and legislation were no greater for the Savages than for other folks of greater or lesser prominence Did the pioneer artist (and sometime Savage business partner) G. M Ottinger paint LDS temple murals? No other source confirms this, nor do the Ottinger journals or press accounts of the period Further, Savage's energetic devotion to community improvement (in addition to his "Old Folks" excursions) deserves wider examination.

These quibbles do not detract from the overall merit of Richards's work; they confirm that more work needs to be done. As an intended "benchmark," this book sets a high standard for o future research. Contemporary and future historians will study it to their benefit. It needs to be ready at hand for anyone interested in well-written biography, in art and cultural development within a unique western setting, or in Utah history generally. It deserves wide readership.

Nineteenth-century Mormon Architecture and City Planning.

By C. MARK HAMILTON. (New York: Oxford University Press, 1995 xviii + 203 pp $65.00.)

A popular conception of Mormon architecture begins with snickering references to nineteenth-century polygamous housing, continues with cracks about the cookie-cutter design approach of wards and stake centers due to the "standard plan" type of the Latter-day Saints building department, and ends with a genuine curiosity about contemporary temple design. No doubt the best way to begin to counteract this conception is a serious study of Mormon architecture and planning. Professor Hamilton's book attempts to do just that.

This brief (137 pages of text) survey of nineteenth-century Mormon architecture and city planning is the first attempt to deal with both subjects under one cover. In his preface the author states that he undertook this work to chronicle the achievements of nineteenth-century Mormons and that "a knowledge of the doctrinal concept of Zion and its application is the key to understanding nineteenth-century Mormon material culture"(v). The reader is introduced to some of this knowledge in the first two chapters: "Mormonism, a Historical Context" and "Zion and Mormon City Planning." These introductory chapters are followed by six chapters based on mostly extant examples of specific building types, including temples, tabernacles, meetinghouses, associated buildings (i.e., the Endowment House, the Seventies Hall, Relief Society buildings, and tithing offices), domestic architecture, and peripheral buildings (a variety of buildings with no direct liturgical function) Well-defined architectural descriptions, especially those pertaining to the building's exterior, are found in the text of these chapters. Photographic plates and occasional architectural drawings are grouped at the back of each of the chapters and referenced in the page margins of the text.

Survey histories on any topic are a difficult undertaking, and, as is the case with this volume, rarely comprehensive. The reader is presented with a text that is based upon an extensive compilation of material, much of it drawn from secondary sources. There are of course some exceptions, such as Professor Hamilton's dissertation research on the Salt Lake Temple Beyond that the work presents little new scholarship on the subject. One of the most perplexing aspects of this architectural history is the unexplained and consistent lack of the use of architectural floor plans, with the exception of the Independence, Kirtland, and Nauvoo temples A major concept of architecture is the enclosure of space, and this is traditionally represented two dimensionally by a series of architectural drawings, one of the most important being the floor plan.

By relying on mostly extant examples of the various types of ecclesiastical architecture or on buildings sponsored by the Mormon church, the book provides only a partial glimpse at this important history Such an approach can also be a convenient way of avoiding a serious discussion about the LDS church's destruction of historic buildings galvanized by the Coalville Tabernacle and how that approach has been successfully reversed.

The failure to include floor plans is especially noticeable in the chapter on domestic architecture since a great deal of research, including floor plans, exists on nineteenth-century Mormon housing, including studies on polygamous housing Much of this research has involved current theory and methodology found in material culture studies It is apparent by the author's reference to certain house types as "L," "H," or "T" rather than the term "cross wing," that he is unfamiliar with this literature This is only one example where the author has not refreshed his knowledge by inquiring and conferring with other scholars in this field. Throughout the work there has been too much acceptance of what has been published and not enough questioning and analysis of the material at hand Proper peer review of the manuscript by the Oxford University Press should have turned up this and other discrepancies.

Rather than read a litany of such problems with the content of this volume, readers might benefit by examining the bibliography as well as undertaking an additional literature search on their own One amazing omission from the bibliography's section on theses and dissertations is Thomas Carter's Ph.D dissertation, Building Zion: Folk Architecture in the Mormon Settlements of Utah's Sanpete Valley, 1849-1890 (Indiana University, 1984).

The topic of this volume is an important one, and it deserves serious scholarship followed by a second volume on twentieth-century Mormon architecture In the case of the present work, it is difficult to recommend a book flawed by poor scholarship coupled with a high sales price.

As You Pass By: Architectural Musings on Salt Lake City, a Collection of Columns and Sketches from the Salt Lake Tribune

By JACK GOODMAN (Salt Lake City: University of Utah Press, 1995. x + 267 pp. Cloth, $30.00; paper, $16.95.)

As You Pass By, a collection of articles from the Salt Lake Tribune written by Jack Goodman over the past decade, provides an architectural and historical account of Salt Lake City. The strength of the book lies in Goodman's mastery at weaving life into the architecture as he tells stories about people and the places in which they live, work, and play He presents—through an understanding that people rely on buildings as a way of expression, as a place for interacting with others, and as a physical connection from the past to the present and the future—another opportunity to appreciate our heritage.

This collection of writings illustrates that Goodman's narratives are not limited to discussions of individual buildings because he does not isolate architecture from its surroundings. Rather, he talks about the architecture and the people as they relate to the environment as a whole, bringing together facts and anecdotes from as close as next door to as broad as national trends Goodman's narratives describe the buildings' original and continued uses, such as a restaurant finding a home in a former fraternity building, a music and art school occupying a mansion, or an office building hosting radio stations and railroad industry tenants. His editorial comments about the reuse of structures, both appropriate and inappropriate, as well as his dismay when buildings of historic significance are replaced with unplanned and undesirable development, give the reader a chance to reflect on what is important and what we may be losing.

While his work would not be considered academic-based by his own admission, Goodman offers a popular perspective on architecture in Salt Lake City that adds much to our understanding of the past through a medium accessible to and appreciated by many Although Goodman's work has focused on historic buildings, he has included numerous articles on newer architecture in Salt Lake City To choose from the more than 500 articles that he has written over the past ten years must have been challenging As You Pass By appears to be a well-rounded compilation of his work that encompasses a multiplicity of people and their buildings impacting the development of Salt Lake City.

As You Pass By would be a good addition to any collection of architectural and historical works on Salt Lake City However, as in all publications, there is room for improvement A primary consideration would be the inclusion of a map This kind of simple graphic illustration would have given the readers an opportunity to easily orient themselves, perceive connections between sites, and perhaps begin to see patterns of development, adding to their understanding of Salt Lake City's history. Additionally, an index of the various people and buildings would be useful for those who may be curious about a particular person, event, or place Overall, however, the book probably accomplishes just what it needs to It is enjoyable to read and, as the title suggests, is a casual yet informative way to look at Salt Lake City.

The Personal Writings of Eliza Roxcy Snow.

Edited by Maureen Ursenbach Beecher. (Salt Lake City: University of Utah Press, 1995. xx + 316 pp. $34.95.)

Eliza R. Snow (1804-87), a plural wife of both Joseph Smith and Brigham Young, made unparalleled contributions to the history of the LDS church—she was "Zion's poetess," "priestess," "prophetess," and "presidentess," author of the second most famous LDS hymn, and a leader par excellence of Mormon women during her long and eventful life The present volume offers primary documents and scholarship essential to an understanding of her life both as an artist and an exquisitely sentient human being and as a commentator on and participant in crucial events of the early church.

The volume comprises the texts of four holograph manuscripts produced by Snow. The first presented is the last written—the elegant retrospective "Sketch of My Life" prepared in 1877 and revised in 1885 for publication and directed to outsiders as well as to Mormons. The other three are private, formed in the crucible of experience as Eliza was living it, in a crucial earlier period not only of her own life but also of the recently established LDS church They provide some of the raw material for the later, polished work The earliest of the "raw" writings, the Nauvoo Journal, opens on the day of Eliza's secret marriage as a plural wife to Joseph Smith (June 29, 1842) and ends in April 1844, just a fortnight before Joseph's death The second, a trail diary written after the destruction of the Nauvoo community and after she became a plural wife to Brigham Young, documents her journey to Winter Quarters and her sojourn there (February 1846 to May 1847) The third document, also a trail diary, picks up the thread, covering the journey from Winter Quarters to the Great Salt Lake Valley and the two years following her party's arrival in Zion (June 1847-September 1849).

The editor's choice to present Snow's writings in this order is significant, impressing the reader with the degree to which time and events can inflate some experiences in the mind of a memoirist, while compressing or obliterating others.

Each of the four holograph documents is preceded by a brief introductory essay that contextualizes and partially analyzes the document. The volume has an introductory chapter by the editor, Maureen Ursenbach Beecher, on female life-writings not merely as historical artifacts but as representatives of what ought to be valued as a literary genre of their own. Citing contemporary literary critical scholarship, Beecher notes that all autobiographical writings, even the most raw, are fictions in the sense that their materials have to be selected, picked out from a daily array of thousands of events; events may moreover be misremembered, even (by their absence) disremembered.

The present volume is graced with photographs of some of the manuscript and diary pages (two shots are unfortunately reversed) There are in addition fifty pages of notes (a scholarly treat in themselves); a list of Eliza R. Snow's kin, from both sets of grandparents through parents, siblings and notable relatives (Eliza herself had no direct descendants); an alphabetical list of names of 154 persons alluded to in the trail diaries, painstakingly assembled by the editor from all available historical sources; and an index. Editor Beecher has been studying Eliza R Snow for the past quarter century, and hers is clearly a labor of love. She combines thorough, up-to-date historical scholarship with a literary critic's assessment of Snow's writings as having artistic as well as historical value.

These glories notwithstanding, the reader will find the writings of Eliza R. Snow dense, tantalizing, oblique, elusive Quite aside from Snow's constitutional reticence, the church's need for secrecy with regard to "Celestial Marriage" (polygamy) and other early doctrines, along with its early unease about the role of women in matters of priesthood and healing, caused our poetess often to write in convoluted and allusive ways Through the veiled text, however, shine the woman's forbearance, her profound faith, and her joy in sharing ecstatic religious experience with others of similar conviction.

A full-blown critical biography of Eliza R Snow (on the order of Linda King Newell and Valeen Tippetts Avery's Mormon Enigma: Emma Hale Smith [1984; rev 1995]), doing full justice to the memory of the woman, cries out to be shaped from these splendidly researched and arrayed primary materials. The present work, a model of scholarly restraint yet a pleasure to read, is a way station We eagerly await Professor Beecher's future offering.

Audacious Women: Early British Mormon Immigrants.

By REBECCA BARTHOLOMEW (Salt Lake City: Signature Books, 1995. xvi + 288 pp. Paper, $18.95.)

One of the best things about this book is the title which immediately promises enlightenment concerning three of my favorite subjects: Mormon women, anything Anglophile, and audacious human beings. It reminded me of a special British ancestor, spunky Laura Peters Laura's conversion story states that ". . . upon hearing the message of the missionaries while working in his woolen mill at Ffestiniog, Wales, her husband, David Peters, became curious Laura was convinced the message was true. On 21 June 1846, Elder Able Evans accompanied the couple to the river to be baptized. David hesitated for a brief moment and Laura boldly stepped forth. Therefore David, believing a man should always be first, jumpe d into the water clothes and all. Laura was chagrined and out-manoeuvered, but she was also the first woman in Northern Wales to be baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints."

Bartholomew's book begins with a collection of stereotypes about depraved and mindless Mormon women abstracted from cycles of antiMormon literature published between 1838 and 1899 by hostile writers in reports which became increasingly virulent Against these stereotypes, the author compared what one hundred British women converts (who somehow left a record) actually said about themselves She learned that, with some exceptions, Mormon women were independent, creative, and stalwart, viewing obstacles with eyes of faith For each woman who expressed disillusionment, there were two who saw things favorably.

"I found new sources continually presented themselves," Bartholomew explained. "[In addition to diaries and journals] a whole body of private histories exist, written by family genealogists (many of them women), with as many life stories of matriarchs as of patriarchs. Most were thoroughly researched, some even documented ."(ix)

The author exposes the treatment of women within British branches, their emigration ordeal, and their life experience in Zion. Included are thoughtful chapters on conversion, education, organizations, polygamy, monogamy, and family life. Bartholomew also introduces some fascinating new players into the early Mormon scene. Finally, this study suggests why vestiges of Victorian culture still exist in church leadership by looking at the circumstances which caused British women to become attracted to Mormonism.

For this reviewer, the biggest problem with the book is its fragmentation There is too little information about an individual woman before a second or third sister is featured It might have been better to introduce fewer women and include more background material. Also, in spite of hopes for a major Anglophile experience, this is not necessarily a "British only" story, nor a "women only" story.

Bartholomew admits that not all the sources for each audacious woman are equally valid, and she expresses a wish to contact descendants of women for whom she had to depend on a secondary source. Nevertheless, her clues to sources can become the first step for the researcher who utilizes her material As an example, the source for Angelina Hawkins Piercy (wife of artist Frederick Piercy) provided her name only, no information Piercy is not an example of an audacious Mormon woman In fact, Angelina did not even stay with the Mormon church in England However, by looking carefully into the branch records in London as directed by Bartholomew, a researcher will recognize Angelina's mother, Charlotte Hawkins, who singlehandedly led her large family (except Angelina) to Zion after the death of her husband from cholera in St. Louis. This source also identifies Angelina's sister, Lavinia Hawkins, who became a leading lady in the Salt Lake Theatre before she was abandoned and divorced by apostate Joh n Hyde, Jr. This most audacious lady stayed strong in the church, ending up as a plural wife of Joseph Woodmansee and the sister-wife of Emily.

Actually, there is so much good, solid information and so many clues to quality resources that this book is bound to become a major reference tool for historians and writers.

My Life on Mountain Railroads.

By WILLIAM JOHN GILBERT GOULD Edited by William R. Gould. (Logan: Utah State University Press, 1995. xiv + 250 pp. Cloth, $36.95; paper, $17.95.)

In 1970 Richard Reinhardt, author of two railroading classics, Out West on the Overland Train (1967) and Workin' on the Railroad (1970), voiced a complaint that is still valid twenty-five years later: "The literary monuments of the railroading profession are obscure, scattered, and uneven." As a corollary of this complaint he noted that "the American trainman passed through the age of steam, his era of greatest importance, relatively unsung." By letting an articulate old hogger tell his story in his own way, the editors of this memoir have added another "monument" of steam railroading to the few that we have, and it is one that sings just praises of the locomotive engineer

Gould was an extraordinarily keen observer, and he infuses his recollection of firing and driving the grand old locomotives on Utah's turn-of-the-century railroads with details so sharply etched they will enable every reader to see, hear, and feel what he experienced, and so authentic they will give special delight to railroad buffs How, for example, did a fireman feel when he got his fire "clinkered up" (making it difficult to maintain steam pressure)? Gould remembers: "Nothing is more humiliating...than to stand up on the back of the tank taking water near a passenger station and [listen] to the loud buzz of the blower, telling the world you're short on steam." This is embarrassment rendered shareable.

Firing on a night run, Gould and his engineer see another engine's oil headlight "shivering" toward them on their track head-on The oncoming train is taking a long left curve, so the engineer on the right side of its engine cannot see them Flashes of red light from the door of the engine's fire box tell them that the fireman is down on the deck shoveling coal and cannot see them either Gould's engineer shuts down, sets the brakes, and he and Gould jump off, but an uncrossable swamp pins Gould alongside towering boxcars that could crush him if there is a collision Then they're seen, but dangerously late. Helplessly, Gould watches every wheel on the approaching train become "a round circle of fire thrown out as the brake shoes bit deeply into the wheels." Images like this one put the reader there with him. What would it be like to be the fireman on a rotary snowplow cutting a slot through a huge slide, with snow high enough on both sides to bury everything on the track if it caved in? "I remember looking back at the fireman on one of the little hogs [coupled behind the snowplow]. His face was expressionless He shook his head slowly and held up his hand with his fingers crossed." The evocative details in these experiences make them indelibly real. If more steam-age firemen and engineers had told their stories with Gould's immediacy, they might have attained the archetypal stature of the cowboy and the lawman.

The more prosaic day-to-day operations of a steam locomotive are described with the same clarity. Readers will learn how everything worked, from the Johnson bar in the cab to the airbrakes on the cars. In addition, they will meet all the characters who were part of the Denver and Rio Grande Western and the Utah Railway in Utah's late 1800s and early 1900s. Dispatchers, trainmen, sectionhands, miners, passengers, hoboes—we see and hear all of them, many likeable, some not, but all memorably alive.

In the first section of Gould's memoir, which covers the period from his boyhood to his employment in the Salt Lake Rio Grande roundhouse, the reader will also get glimpses of turn-ofthe-century life in the old mining towns of Tooele and Juab counties Gould's father was a section foreman whose many different track assignments took him and his family to most of them.

Aware that the reader might not comprehend many of the technical terms which Gould employs so fluently, the editors have provided definitions Unfortunately, however, these are inserted into the text as if they were in the author's own words In this form they tend to be too brief, and they sometimes break the flow of Gould's lively style. They would add more and intrude less as footnotes A diagram of the essential anatomy of a steam locomotive would clarify many terms But these are minor problems in a welcome memoir which will inform and entertain all readers and become a rich primary source for those who have a special interest in steam railroading.

Go West Young Man! Horace Greeley's Vision for America.

By COY F CROSS II (Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 1995 x + 165 pp $27.50.)

Few individuals are more closely associated with nineteenth-century westward expansion than Horace Greeley And few words summarize the expansionist creed better than Greeley's famous exhortation: "Go west, young man." In this book Coy Cross analyzes the efforts of this New York Tribune editor and influential Republican to promote settlement of the West. In the introduction he tells us that " Go West! Young Man!" was neither a simple response to a question nor a campaign slogan," but rather "it was Horace Greeley's lifelong dream and vision for the future of his country" (12).

A devout believer in the "safety valve theory," Greeley viewed western settlement as a remedy for the poverty and urban problems of New York City and labored to convince that city's impoverished to go West Yet, as Cross points out, "despite more than thirty years of persuading, cajoling and pleading, New York City's poor did not move West." Nevertheless, "millions of others heeded his words, and his endeavors smoothed their path westward" (ix).

After a brief profile of Greeley's early career Cross devotes the remainder of the book to discussions of Greeley's views on farming, land reform, the expansion of slavery, a transcontinental railroad, and cooperative colonies.

Greeley believed that farming was not only a "noble profession but the answer to the plight of New York City's poor"(34). He used the Tribune as a forum for educating an urban population in agricultural techniques Cross also makes the interesting argument that Greeley's support for the development of new agricultural technologies "surely smoothed the way for farmers' acceptance of the modern farm machinery that appeared in the last quarter century of the nineteenth century "(44).

Greeley actively supported legislation that promoted his vision for the West He supported both the 1862 Morrill Land Grant College bill and the 1862 Homestead Act, the latter which, in Greeley's estimation, introduced land reform vital to the health of the nation An advocate of free, or at least cheap, lands, Greeley grew more radical about land reform over time. Cross points out that he "evolved from a strong conservative who supported land speculation to a Utopian socialist who advocated free land for the masses, including noncitizen immigrants" (50).

Greeley also opposed the extension of slavery into the West, the annexation of Texas, and the acquiring of territory from Mexico, according to Cross, on political, moral and practical grounds, but most important by "his desire to keep the region fit for the settlement of free labor"(90) For the same reasons Greeley supported the construction of a transcontinental railroad, noting its potential social, moral, and intellectual blessings.

Greeley also supported the formation of Utopian colonies in the West When in 1869 Nathan Meeker, the Tribunes agricultural editor, conceived the idea for a cooperative colony in Colorado, Greeley offered financial and moral support to the Union Colony founded in what was later named, in his honor, Greeley, Colorado Here Cross points to the central failure of Greeley's vision and the safety valve theory. By requiring Union Colonists to have sufficient capital to invest in the colony, the founders effectively eliminated settlement by New York City's poor.

Meant to augment Greeley's autobiography, Recollections of a Busy Life, and biographical works by Glyndon Van Deusen and James Parton among others, Go West Young Man! offers an uncritical discussion of Horace Greeley's particular vision of western expansion Yet, Greeley's vision of western settlement and his brand of agrarianism carried far-reaching implications for the region Cross does hint at such matters in a rare moment of critical observation, admitting that Greeley's support for the introduction of agriculture into marginal western lands, and the argument that planting trees on the arid and treeless expanses of the western plains would increase precipitation, ultimately led to widespread ecological problems Despite its uncritical tone, Cross has provided a brief and highly readable work that should appeal to specialist and nonspecialist alike.

The Buffalo: The Story of American Bison and Their Hunters from Prehistoric Times to the Present.

By FRANCIS HAINES (1970; Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 1995 xii+ 244 pp. Paper, $13.95.)

Few images of the Old West are more enduring than the American buffalo The story of the wholesale and careless slaughter of these magnificent animals during the middle and end of the nineteenth century has been widely depicted in movies and popular books The buffalo's ultimate resurgence during this century has made it the quintessential success story for conservationists worldwide. Despite this, few popular descriptions of the history of the buffalo existed before 1970 When Francis Haines's The Buffalo appeared that year, it was the first such book published in a decade At the time the book was originally published, Haines was 70 years old; having grown up in Montana, he had witnessed the vanishing lifeways that characterized the American West.

As the full title suggests, this work chronicles the history of the bison from the earliest human inhabitants in North America through more recent conservation efforts. As with the original work, the 1995 edition is topically organized into twenty-five short, readable chapters. This new edition contains a foreword by David Dary, author of The Buffalo Book, that places the work in historical context and details Francis Haines's life and previous works Dary has also updated the appendix that lists locations in the United States where living buffalo may be observed and admired.

Except for these revisions, the text remains largely unchanged from the original work The bulk of the book details interactions among historic Native American tribes, European settlers, and the bison Nearly every prominent western historical figure and event that shares a relevance to the survival and distribution of bison are mentioned While these chapters tend to be repetitive and rather loosely organized, they often contain entertaining anecdotes and informative factual nuggets. These chapters are occasionally peppered with more lengthy discussions that reveal Haines's expansive knowledge of western lifeways.

The text is richly supplemented with black and white period photographs and excerpts from historical sources written by early Spanish explorers, diaries of pioneers, journals of trailblazers, and newspaper items Unfortunately, many of these historical sources are not directly referenced in the text and the bibliography contains only selected sources.

The only true weakness in this book is that the text is dated. For example, the chapters discussing prehistoric bison hunters in North America contain some information and broad generalizations that are now outdated Similarly, discussions of bison lifeways are often cursory and do not contain information on bison ecology that has accumulated since 1970.

While the bibliography is limited, the text contains a wealth of useful information on the history of the West and the bison. The author's background provides a unique combination of scholarly accuracy and rustic common sense that is both impressive and entertaining This book continues to endure as a guidebook for anyone interested in the history of the American bison.
