{"product_id":"on-the-way-to-somewhere-michael-w-homer-9780806140834","title":"On the Way to Somewhere Else: European Sojourners in the Mormon West","description":"\u003cp\u003eMost travelers to Utah during the nineteenth and early twentieth\u003cbr\u003e centuries, especially those from Europe, were curious about the\u003cbr\u003e state's community of Latter-day Saints, with their \"seventeenstrong\u003cbr\u003e families with only one man!\" This collection of the\u003cbr\u003e writings of some of those European travelers breaks new ground\u003cbr\u003e by ignoring the tradition of incorporating only the predictably\u003cbr\u003e benign views of English gentlemen. It includes, instead, such\u003cbr\u003e colorful perspectives toward the Mormons as those of an outraged\u003cbr\u003e Italian Catholic priest, an intrigued German prince, a liberated\u003cbr\u003e Frenchwoman, and a devout French convert. The European\u003cbr\u003e visitors encountered not only faithful Mormons--including the\u003cbr\u003e man they called the \"Pope of Mormonism,\" Brigham Young--but\u003cbr\u003e other lively characters of the American West, from fur traders to\u003cbr\u003e Indians to soldiers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Homer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0806140836\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780806140834\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Oklahoma Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/17\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 452\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.94d","brand":"Michael Homer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926253633791,"sku":"9780806140834","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_55a82ee8-618d-4568-9950-2528638e1fb1.jpg?v=1681082051","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-the-way-to-somewhere-michael-w-homer-9780806140834","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
