Nineteenth-century Mormons believed the Rocky Mountains were the biblical “mountain of the Lord’s house” where, upon completion of the city of God, Jesus Christ would descend to claim his kingdom and begin a thousand-year reign of peace. Wadsworth’s historical photographs document the progress and moods of the frontier city and its people as a temple slowly rose from the valley floor and millennial expectations grew. In the accompanying text, emphasis is given to the passionate, diverse lives of the photographers who, in a sense, represented the larger culture in microcosm and in their own way were path-breaking pioneers, working with light rather than soil.
