Mormon Studies
From living in a dugout called the Castle of Spiders, or eating so many weeds that their skin took on a green cast, to losing four children in just a few weeks to diphtheria, nearly everything imaginable happened to the Mormon settlers of the Utah Territory. This book collects the details of the lives of the Mormon pioneers, explaining what they ate and wore, where they lived, how they worshipped, and, most importantly, how they endured the trials and tribulations of early Utah life.
Hundreds of vignettes provide revealing looks into the everyday lives of these rugged settlers, lives that had their moments of joy and celebration as well as struggle.
"Old and young would gather for dancing; everybody came early and left about the midnight hour. The bedrooms opening from the hall were generally filled with babies snugly tucked away, while the mothers enjoyed the dance. The huge fireplaces at either end of the hall were piled high with dry cedar fagots, the flames from which leaped and danced up the chimneys. Candles held in place by three nails driven into wooden brackets were ranged high along the walls. Tickets were paid for in any kind of produce that the fiddlers could be induced to accept. Usually a couple of two-bushel sacks could be seen near the door, into which the dancers deposited their contributions."
