Utah History To Go - Albert Sidney Johnston
In 1857 President James Buchanan decided to name new officials for Utah Territory and to send with them a military escort to ensure their authority. In May, 2,500 troops were assembled to be dispatched to Utah. General William S. Harney was originally designated to head the campaign, but conditions in "Bleeding Kansas" caused him to remain in that state. In late August, Johnston was assigned charge over the expedition, now well on its way to Utah; but he didn't catch up with the troops until November. In the meantime, these events caused anxiety among the Utah Mormons, who believed that the United States was sanctioning their destruction. ... [Read More]

Utah History To Go - Ute Trek
Over the next several months the Vernal newspaper reported on the Indians' progress until they arrived at a Sioux reservation near Fort Meade, South Dakota. Dispatches reprinted from Wyoming newspapers indicated that white residents feared potential Indian atrocities and depredations. Agent Hall of the Fort Duchesne Indian Agency was traveling with the Utes, trying to convince them to return to Utah, while federal troops were sent to escort them to South Dakota. ... [Read More]
Utah History To Go - Rivals Fought Tooth and Nail Over Dinosaurs
In July 1870, a military escort left Fort McPherson in Nebraska, shepherding a dozen Yale students, each outfitted with a bowie knife, six-shooter, rifle, waterproof matches and geological hammer. Othniel Marsh, America's first professor of paleontology, was in charge of the civilians. Unlike most Easterners who visited the Great Plains to hunt buffalo, Yale College's first scientific expedition was after bigger and more ancient quarry: dinosaurs. News of this odd enterprise attracted the attention of Buffalo Bill Cody, who then served briefly as the expedition's guide. ... [Read More]
Utah History To Go - Utah War Broke Hold Mormons Had on Utah
The Department of the Army dispatched Captain Stewart Van Vliet, an assistant quartermaster, to Utah to contact Governor Young, and inform him of the expedition's mission: to escort the new appointees, to act as a posse comitatus and to establish at least two and perhaps three new U.S. Army camps in Utah. Van Vliet reached Great Salt Lake City September 8 and sought out Young. In the maelstrom Buchanan had made a critical slip; he had failed to notify Brigham Young officially that he had been superceded. Young—who had once declared: "We have got a territorial government, and I am and will be the governor, and no power can hinder it until the Lord Almighty says, ‘Brigham, you need not be governor any longer,' and then I am willing to yield to another"—made the most of Buchanan's blunder. He chose to regard the troops as a mob and on September 15, 1857, declared martial law in the territory. His now famous proclamation began: "Citizens of Utah—We are invaded by a hostile force…" ...

Utah History To Go - Jenny Stanford
Jenny traveled again, certainly to Alaska and no doubt also to the West Coast. In Salt Lake she made friends with the Jennings's horticulturist, Stephen Stanford. Two years later they were married—in two ceremonies, one Mormon, one Church of England. Now a matron, Jenny continued to win over friends and family as "a gentle, refined lady, kind and generous." The marriage endured until Stephen's death in 1909. That is the year John took a mission to England, probably to escort Jenny home. She died in 1934. ... [Read More]
Utah History To Go - 'Buffalo Bill' Cody: Ever The Showman
Their homes are comfortable, well furnished and well stored with home products, so that they live well, while their religion, outside of polygamy, will stand the closest criticism. Of course, plural marriages are abolished among them now under the law, but there is a resigned acceptance of the situation among all with whom we talked. Our whole escort was Mormon, from the guide in chief to the horse wrangler. In fact, we had Brigham Young, a grandson of the prophet, with us." ... [Read More]
Utah History To Go - John Held, Jr.
In addition to The New Yorker, Held sold cartoons to Judge, Puck, Vanity Fair, and Life—some of the most popular magazines of the era—and a number of other publications. His gentle satires and witty caricatures became enormously popular in the 1920s. He created Betty Coed, "the flapper," along with her escort, Joe College. The characters both borrowed from and contributed to the real-life image of the 1920s "Flaming Youth." The artistic versatility and restless energy that marked Held's life were already evident; although he quickly became a commercial success, he also engaged in "serious" art—including watercolor and sculpture, designed Broadway sets, wrote a comic ballet, illustrated other authors' books, and wrote children's stories. ...

Utah History To Go - The Paiute Tribe of Utah
The common history continues that local Mormons approached the besieged emigrant wagon train under a flag of truce and convinced the emigrants to surrender their weapons, promising in return a safe escort out of the area. The desperate emigrants agreed, only to be slaughtered by their would-be protectors a few miles away, it again being claimed that Native Americans helped take part in this brutal act of treachery. ...
