{"product_id":"on-the-mormon-frontier-juanita-brooks-9780874809459","title":"On the Mormon Frontier: The Diary of Hosea Stout, 1844-1889","description":"Hosea Stout was a participant in the mainstream movement as the newly formed Mormon Church expanded its membership and range. He held numerous positions of responsibility in church, civic, and governmental organizations, including as officer of the militias of Illinois and Utah, attorney general of the state of Deseret and the territory of Utah, and president of the house of the Utah Territorial Legislature. Such positions gave Stout the opportunity to observe and record events of great moment in Mormon history that were outside the reach of many diarists. His records of the territorial legislature offer a more informative and detailed account of the affairs of the legislative assembly than even the official journals of that body. Yet Stout also imbues his diaries with a sense of the familiar, recounting moving experiences from his daily life.\u003cbr\u003eThis edition of \u003ci\u003eOn the Mormon Frontier \u003c\/i\u003epresents Stout's diary in a single volume, proving that it continues to be an essential work in the study of Mormon and American history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Juanita Brooks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0874809452\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780874809459\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Utah Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 786\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.95h x 6.99w x 1.56d","brand":"Juanita Brooks","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443732394239,"sku":"9780874809459","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9f94418f-e732-4188-8235-663232c440a9.jpg?v=1777207460","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-the-mormon-frontier-juanita-brooks-9780874809459","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
