About This Item
Salt Lake City: University of Utah Press, 1998. First Edition. 432pp. Octavo [24 cm] Rust colored cloth with the title gilt stamped on the front board and backstrip. Fine. Utah's Black Hawk War not only explores political intricacies and broader implications, scrutinizing the Mormons' Indian policies—most notably Brigham Young's extraordinary "better to feed them than fight them" teachings—but also presents vivid narrative accounts of various raids and battles. The result is a masterfully researched and engagingly written account of Utah's secret war, a war largely unknown among western history students, scholars, and enthusiasts.
