"Discover the untamed journey of James Henry Martineau, from gold-hunting traveler to Utah pioneer. Abandoning the allure of California's riches, he embraced an unexpected fate, converting to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Through hardship and poverty, he held onto an unshakable faith in divine protection. A surveyor by trade, Martineau's legacy shaped the landscape itself. He etched his mark on the heart of Utah and Arizona, designing communities, locating the Transcontinental Railroad's path, and constructing vital bridges and canals. As a devoted Latter-day Saint, he wore multiple hats-- from stake presidency counselor to patriarch. Within his journals lies an intimate tapestry weaving the history of the Great Basin, including Indigenous communities, the Mountain Meadows Massacre, and polygamy. Martineau's record is also a family record, detailing the lives and, in some cases, the deaths of his wives and children. This edition, meticulously annotated by historians Noel A. Carmack and Charles M. Hatch, illuminates the threads that stitched together the Mormon corridor from southern Idaho to northern Mexico. Martineau's vivid accounts unite the grand and the minute to narrate the making of a land and its people." [From front book flap]
