‎The March of the Mormon Battalion From Council Bluffs to California: Taken from the Journal of Henry Standage‎

‎New York: The Century Co. Good with no dust jacket. 1928. First Edition. Hardcover. Dark blue cloth with gold lettering xiii 295 pp index bibliography list of the members of the battalion 8 full page b/w photos tipped in. Two tone map end papers showing the routes of the Mormon pioneers to Salt Lake City and the Mormon battalion to Los Angeles. Ex-library with typical markings stamps and stickers. Spine a bit cocked and sunned corners bumped a little edge wear and rubbing small stain to front board that is likely a dampstain. Boards starting to separate from text block along the hinges exposing some of the webbing. Pages slightly browned but text is clean and unmarked. Overall a nice copy. <p> Henry Standage was one of the volunteers serving in the Mormon Battalion during its march from Fort Leavenworth Kansas through Oklahoma New Mexico and Arizona to San Diego and Los Angeles. Professor Golder came across his journal in Arizona and obtained permission to publish it. It covers the period of the march from June 1846 through the battalion being paid off in July 1847. <br> From the Introduction by Reed Smoot: "The story of the Battalion is introduced by a historical sketch of the rise and progress of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints down to the year 1839 when the Nauvoo period of 'Mormon' history begins leading up to the principal theme presented in these papers. Following that sketch are the Church's Articles of Faith and a brief setting forth of its organization and government." <br> This unique event in American history and American military history is also fleshed out by presented letters and speeches of various governors military officers presidents and other people directly involved with the Mormon migrations and the decisions to create the Mormon battalion. As far as I am aware this is the only Army unit ever raised solely along religious bounds. It is perhaps somewhat comparable to the nisei units raised during World War II or the various black regiments raised from the Civil War through the early Korean War.; Ex-Library; 7¾" - 9¾" Tall .

A portion of the selections from earlier years, on subjects more fully worked out in Mr. Gompers' recent writings, are nevertheless placed in the record because of their interesting revelation of consistency in the central ideas advocated throughout the whole period, and by reason also of their historic place in the development of the American labor movement." - Foreword.

‎"Les professeurs Goodman et Gatell ont rédigé une excellente étude sur les années 1920. Ils y dépeignent un conflit entre deux systèmes de valeurs : les opinions religieuses, rurales et traditionnelles d’une Amérique d’antan, et les opinions urbaines, laïques et modernistes d’une nouvelle Amérique. En fin de compte, la victoire de ces dernières a marqué le début de l’Amérique contemporaine. Selon les auteurs, l'un des événements les plus marquants des années 1920 fut l'émergence de l'automobile. L'automobile a joué un rôle important en tant qu'industrie à part entière, en tant que moteur de croissance pour des secteurs tels que l'acier, le caoutchouc et le verre, et en tant que catalyseur de l'évolution de la structure, des valeurs et des comportements de la société américaine. L'attention portée par les auteurs à l'industrie automobile met en évidence un autre thème récurrent de l'ouvrage : le rôle prépondérant des affaires dans la vie américaine. Le « grand capital » apparaît comme une institution égoïste qui a opprimé, manipulé et corrompu de larges pans de la société américaine. Deux des principales sources, les textes de Clarence Darrow et de H. L. Mencken, constituent des critiques cinglantes d’une société dominée par la mentalité d’entreprise. La caractérisation de cette période comme « l’ère de la consommation de masse » est pertinente. L’éthique de la consommation était omniprésente. Ainsi, même les syndicalistes et les radicaux opprimés, les pauvres et les chômeurs, les Noirs et les étrangers, dont les auteurs traitent tous, ont été touchés par la consommation de masse. Cette étude est bien écrite, plus interprétative que narrative, et contient suffisamment de références bibliographiques pour permettre à l'étudiant d'approfondir ses recherches."
