Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Brand new hardcover book!; MORMON GOLD is a must read for anyone interested in the remarkable contributions of Latter Day Saints to California's mid-nineteenth century economy and culture. In this new addition, scholar Dr. Lorin Hansen provides a masterful revision of Dr. J. Kenneth Davies' classic study of the California gold rush and the major role Mormons played in it. New insights and fresh research, along with prolific illustrations and excellent maps, introduces the reader to Mormons living and working in Sutter's Mill and Yerba Buena (San Francisco) in 1848. MORMON GOLD masterfully recounts the ensuing gold rush experience from perspective of some of Mormonism's earliest and most ardent adherents. The work also details the development of the Great Basin's first monetary system and Brigham Young's extraordinary stewardship of gold brought to Utah from California. - - "For anyone writing on, studying, or curious about the California gold rush and the major role Mormons played in it, this book is pure gold! Mormon Gold, long out of print, has been a terrific standard for yearsmy copy is well-worn, dog-eared, and marked upand this newly revised and updated edition is even better. Widely researched in primary sources, smartly organized, crisply narrated, marked with intrigue, epic in scope, insightfully mapped, sprinkled with appropriate analyses, contexted well historically, and with participants well-identified and tracked, this is must-have original scholarship at its finest. Mormon Gold's back-reference material alone is worth the price of the book: name lists, subject index, and descriptions of five dozen Mormon-connected gold field locations.Mormon Gold skillfully fulfills its stated purpose to fully examine the "extended Mormon role in the gold fields." Beyond helping discover the gold at Coloma that launched the gold rush, Mormons became key participants in the expanding network of gold fields, including ones named Mormon Island, Mormon Bar, Mormon Gulch, Mormon Hill, and Mormon Ravine. Mormon Gold demonstrates that Brigham Young actually promoted the mining of gold by authorizing hundreds of Mormons to go into the gold fields including two dozen called on "gold mining missions" Readers will find Mormon Gold fascinating." - - William G.

'Behind barbed wire in Korea, 88,000 heroic Chinese and North Korean prisoners of war wrote an unforgettable account of their disillusionment with communism. This is the simple and moving story of their resolute decision to remain on freedom's side of the Bamboo Curtain rather than acept repatriation to their communist homelands, vividly recounted here by a first-hand observer, the former Chief of Psychological Warfare of the Far East Command. The story begins before the Korean armistice, in the prison compounds maintained by the United Nations Command on Koje Island. Here, humane and thoughtful treatment proved a more potent weapon than the communists' brainwashing methods. The prisoners were carefully screened; only those who declared they would forcibly resist repatriation were admitted to the non-communist camps. Inside the camps, even though behind barbed wire, these men found a greater freedom of opportunity than they had been allowed in their communist homelands. They learned to read and write, studied agriculture and learned useful trades; they wer able to celebrate their religious and folk festivals, and enjoy sports and recreation. Then, from October to December, 1953, under the terms of the armistice, the anti-communist prisoners faced a crucial test of their determination. In a demilitarized zone near Panmunjom they wer individually interviewed and subjected to "explanations" by communist officials regarding their final choice. There is deep tragedy and high comedy in the encounters at Panmunjom: tragedy in the threats made by the communists against the men and their families; comedy in the ingeious methods the prisoners devised to turn the tables on their interviewers during these grotesque propaganda sessions. The outcome? ONly three percent of the tooal number of prisoners interviewed chose to return to a life under communist rule. Here was a disastrous loss of face for the communist world, and a sweeping victory for the cause of individual freedom. Hanson Baldwin, distinguished military commentator of The New York Times, summed up the significance of this victory when he wrote: "Panmunjom has again revealed the Achilles heel of any communist or any dictatorial government. Moscow can never be sure of its armies. Least of all, after Panmumjom, can Moscow be sure of the armies of its satellites and friends." 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Quantity Available: 1.
