Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Alleman (1808-1883) was born in Pennsylvania. He married Christean Stentz (d.1886) in 1832. They joined the Mormon Church in 1838 and traveled to Missouri where they participated in the Mormon Exodus from Missouri in late 1838 and early 1839. They lived in Nauvoo and again took part in the great Mormon Exodus to Utah. They did not, however, arrive in Utah until 1852 because they had been assigned to stay in Iowa and farm so that food would be available for migrating Mormons. They eventually settled in Springville, Utah where they raised a family of nine children. Descendants live in Utah and other western states.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The exploration, settlement, exploitation, and conflicts of the "American Old West" form a unique tapestry of events, which has been celebrated by Americans and foreigners alike—in art, music, dance, novels, magazines, short stories, poetry, theater, video games, movies, radio, television, song, and oral tradition. Many historians of the American West have written about the mythic West; the west of western literature, art and of people's shared memories. But Frederic Paxson's book takes us through the era when the American frontier was undergoing a massive transformation and when the decades old struggles of the Native Americans were finally beginning to make a dent in the old white American history... Frederic Logan Paxson was a Pulitzer Prize winning American historian and an authority on the American frontier.

Book excerpt: This hugely influential work marked a turning point in US history and culture, arguing that the nation’s expansion into the Great West was directly linked to its unique spirit: a rugged individualism forged at the juncture between civilization and wilderness, which – for better or worse – lies at the heart of American identity today. Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves – and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives – and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.

Interacting with both the wilderness and Native Americans, settlers on the frontier developed institutions and character traits quite distinct from Europe.

Book excerpt: Well-known author Wilson Rockwell wrote New Frontier in 1938, early in his writing career, as a tribute to his mother. He would wait almost twenty more years before writing another popular history of the Western Slope of Colorado. During this time he became a highly respected State Senator and historian. Most of his latter work does not duplicate this earlier work, basically lost to time until now. New Frontier contains information on the early days of west central Colorado and focuses on the history and the personalities of the Gunnison, Uncompahgre, and North Fork Valleys. Anyone who has enjoyed Wilson Rockwell's more recent books will find New Frontier to be fascinating and enjoyable. Rockwell also cites many sources that are not commonly cited today. It is our pleasure to publish this work so that it may take its place among his other classic works.
