| The Frontier Guardian Edited by: Susan Easton Black In 1848, Brigham Young instructed Mormons at Winter Quarters to cross the Missouri River and settle in Pottawattamie County, Iowa. Young then appointed Orson Hyde to oversee this area. In the next few years, thousands of Saints from the United States and Europe arrived in Iowa before starting their westward trek. The local newspaper, the Frontier Guardian, is a window into this way station for emigration—not only to the Salt Lake Valley but also to the California gold fields. As the largest primary source on Mormon history from 1849 to 1851, the Guardian is crucial to understanding this era. Its 4 volumes contain 81 issues, which equal approximately 4,000 single-spaced pages. A searchable DVD-ROM of all 81 issues in the back of the book helps readers explore this material. The Guardian also contains a genealogical resource of thousands of names and illuminates the religious, social, economic, and political aspects of life this frontier community.

| Adventures of the Soul Written by: Various Authors Expect surprising disclosures if you open this book, for these are personal essays—the reality show of literature.

For example, in South Africa a Xhosa black man with three teeth and a perfectly round head becomes a savior figure during a time of racial tension. A young mother recognizes what her body has sacrificed for her children. A harmonica player is awakened and washed by irrigation water, the water of life. A missionary returned from Europe learns to see God’s mysterious hand in the life of a former foe. Miracles, love, pain, the substance of life—all can be found in these stories.

| Mountain Meadows Massacre: The Andrew Jenson and David H. Morris Collections Edited by: Richard E. Turley and Ronald W. Walker During years of research for their 2008 book Massacre at Mountain Meadows: An American Tragedy, authors Ronald W. Walker, Richard E. Turley Jr., and Glen M. Leonard and their colleagues uncovered a great deal of information about the 1857 massacre, leading to a clearer understanding of how this tragedy happened. Among the materials they found were two major collections known but largely unavailable to previous researchers. In this volume, images of the original documents are accompanied by typed transcriptions, which reproduce original spelling, punctuation, strikethroughs, and inserted words or characters. Introductory text explains how each document collection came to be, how the Church came to possess these materials, and where they were archived. Brief biographical sketches introduce the individuals who provided the information that appears in the document collections. Hardback Retail Price: $39.95 ISBN: 978-0-8425-2723-1 |
| Eliza R. Snow: The Complete Poetry Edited by: Jill Mulvay Derr and Karen Lynn Davidson Hymns by Eliza R. Snow—such as “O My Father,” “Behold the Great Redeemer Die,” and “How Great the Wisdom and the Love”—evoke powerful religious imagery. In her hymns and in her hundreds of other poems, Snow captured nineteenth-century Mormonism, where revelation and history intersected and Latter-day Saints labored for the meeting of heaven and earth they named Zion. Snow’s poems convey many sublime truths about the human condition. As Zion’s honored spokeswoman, no public event in the Mormon community from the 1840s to the 1880s was complete without a contribution from her. “Through [Snow’s poems] the names of many of the actors in the drama of Mormonism, will be handed down to posterity,” wrote Emmeline B. Wells. Intelligent, well-read, and articulate, Snow also had an understanding of the scriptures. Through her position in the inner circles of church leadership, her poetry, and her gifts as a spokeswoman, she became one of the most influential and best-known women in Mormon history. As a result, this collection is as much biographical, historical, and theological as literary. Hardback Retail Price: $44.95 ISBN: 978-0-8425-2737-8 |
| In Harm’s Way: East German Latter-day Saints in World War II Edited by Roger P. Minert BYU Religious Studies Center will be releasing In Harm’s Way: East German Latter-day Saints in World War II on September 25, 2009. This 545 page volume contains compelling and riveting stories of 7,600 members of the LDS Church in East Germany. These saints found themselves in a precarious situation when World War II broke out in September 1939. They were compelled to live under the tyranny of Nazi Germany and thus to participate in offensive and defensive military actions. The story of how they lived—and died—under those conditions has never been told. This volume brings together the accounts of hundreds of Church members who survived the war, preserved in hundreds of personal interviews, journals, letters, and photographs. Their stories of joy and suffering are presented in this book against the background of the rise and collapse of the Third Reich. Readers will be amazed at the faith and dedication demonstrated by these Saints, young and old, military and civilian.
