-
"Faithful and Fearless : Major Howard Egan - Early Mormonism and the Pioneering of the American West" is the first scholarly biography to be published on one of the great frontiersman of the American West, Major Howard Egan. Written by award-winning historian William G. Hartley, this 619 page book is a well-researched and engaging history of Egan's riveting, often dangerous, exciting, and remarkable life experiences. Hartley goes far beyond a simple biographical sketch of Egan. He brings history alive in this fact-filled story of Egan and the key role he played in the development of early Mormonism and the American West. Known to be fearless and dependable, Egan was not one to shrink from danger or duty and was often called upon by leaders to do what most could not or would not do. His life experiences were wide and varied and he played and held key roles and positions in major historical events during the mid-19th century. An original 1847 Mormon Pioneer, Gold Rush participant, cattle drover, Utah War ammunition supplier and officer, trail blazer, Superintendent of the Overland Mail and Stagecoach, and Pony Express Superintendent and rider, his 63 years of life were "characterized by numerous acts of heroism and many hair-breath escapes." Howard Egan's three journals largely preserved in "Pioneering the West" are vital sources of history of the American West and are widely used by historians today. His impact on the American West is immeasurable. One of his most significant achievements was locating and making usable a vital central trail route from Salt Lake City to California south of the Great Salt Lake. "Egan's Trail," then road, became the major western wing route for the Pony Express and the overland stage coach. Open your copy and get ready to "tag along with Egan while he engages in exciting, dangerous, and dynamic developments in early Mormonism and the early American West."
