Paperback. Condition: New. Defender is the first and only scholarly biography of Daniel H. Wells, one of the important yet historically neglected leaders among the nineteenth-century Mormons-leaders like Heber C. Kimball, George Q. Cannon, and Jedediah M. Grant. An adult convert to the Mormon faith during the Mormons' Nauvoo period, Wells developed relationships with men at the highest levels of the church hierarchy, emigrated to Utah with the Mormon pioneers, and served in a series of influential posts in both church and state.Wells was known especially as a military leader in both Nauvoo and Utah-he led the territorial militia in four Indian conflicts and a confrontation with the US Army (the Utah War). But he was also the territorial attorney general and obtained title to all the land in Salt Lake City from the federal government during his tenure as the mayor of Salt Lake City. He was Second Counselor to Brigham Young in the LDS Church's First Presidency and twice served as president of the Mormon European mission. Among these and other accomplishments, he ran businesses in lumbering, coal mining, manufacturing, and gas production; developed roads, ferries, railroads, and public buildings; and presided over a family of seven wives and thirty-seven children.Wells witnessed and influenced a wide range of consequential events that shaped the culture, politics, and society of Utah in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Using research from relevant collections, sources in public records, references to Wells in the Joseph Smith papers, other contemporaneous journals and letters, and the writings of Brigham Young, Quentin Thomas Wells has created a serious and significant contribution to Mormon history scholarship.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. John Phillips Thomas was a working class man from a working class family of first-generation Welsh immigrants. Hestarted life with little wealth and few advantages of birth. With a good mind, exceptional skills and determination, he becameone of the world's greatest jugglers by the age of twenty-one.On the day he was scheduled to begin spreading his fame abroad, he suffered a crippling injury that shattered his dream of circus stardom and forced him to learn to walk again on a new and different life path.For more than half a century, through two world wars and a deep depression, he mastered new careers as a salt plantmachinist, a poultry breeder, and a dry farmer, all while maintaining his juggling skills and teaching them to members of his family.His accomplishments are today remembered by his descendants, who now number hundreds, and in the national Museum of Juggling History where his story and some of his equipment now reside.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Final Payment is a Cold War thriller. When an Israeli aircraft struck by a missile fired from Egypt crash lands in the occupied Sinai, CIA officers Serina Gray and Clay Kinkaide are tasked to purchase the damaged Soviet weapon. The Israeli Mossad agrees to sell it, but demands a strange price: $10 million cash and Joachim Van Altmann, a U.S. Citizen serving as caretaker officer on a ship marooned in the Great Bitter Lake, whom they assert is a Nazi war criminal. Van Altmann is not a Nazi, but an NSA officer operating a secret monitoring station on his ship. When the Mossad rejects CIA assurances about him and threaten to kidnap or kill him if the exchange is not made, Clay and Serina place Van Altmann in Israeli custody as security for their pledge to help locate the real Martin Bormann. A world-wide search for Bormann locates him in Paraguay and he is captured in a black operation by an American-Israeli team, but one Israeli is wounded in the assault and the other appears to be the cause. Bormann manages to thwart the team's escape and they are forced into hiding in Argentina. During the evacuation of the Israelis, Serina is ambushed by the police and Clay, who witnesses her capture, can do nothing to help her. She is brutally tortured, but remains silent to protect him. Clay determines to rescue Serina, whom he has fallen in love with, and with help from Tomaz, a local agent, goes in search of her. He is wounded while attacking the police installation where she is held, but is still able to escape with her. They find refuge and medical help at a lakeside resort and escape from Paraguay after a perilous boat passage down the Parana River. Back in Tel Aviv, Serina and Clay learn they must outwit the Soviet double agent who betrayed them in Paraguay, obtain the missile and gain Van Altmann's release, all while blocking a Soviet plot to cause an atomic detonation in Israel.
