Part of the semi-centennial celebration of the BYU. This is a very broad article. Dr. Bolton tries to set the Latter-Day Saints in the midst of the Western milieu. To do this, he starts almost from the beginning with the fur trappers and ends much later with Brigham Young and Utah's becoming a state. Among the topics he treats are Brigham Young, Colonization, Oregon and Washington territories, and the State of Deseret.
