The Settlement And Development Of Wayne County, Utah, To 1900, Aldus Devon Chappell
The Settlement And Development Of Wayne County, Utah, To 1900, Aldus Devon Chappell
Theses and Dissertations
Although John C. Fremont had traveled through Wayne County, Utah, in the winter of 1853-54, it was not until 1874 that the first herd of cattle was introduced to Rabbit Valley. Reports soon circulated that here was a new land, conducive to the raising of livestock, and in 1876 about a dozen families entered the valley and began settlement. Families that moved into this area came from various places. Each settler came to make a new life, and came independently of the others. In 1895 the population was nearly 2,000, and by 1970 it had dropped to 1,486.

A Sociological Profile Of Lds Inmates At Utah State Prison, Robert D. Payne
A Sociological Profile Of Lds Inmates At Utah State Prison, Robert D. Payne
Theses and Dissertations
The present thesis is a study of 103 LDS inmates at Utah State Prison. It tests the hypothesis that the inmates are more likely to come from non-cohesive homes. In 1959, Dr. Evan T. Peterson completed a study of three thousand 12-18 year old LDS male youths. Out of Dr. Peterson's respondents, 112 sixteen-eighteen year old subjects were selectively drawn to match the inmate sample in terms of fathers' occupation and education. This stratified sample was used as the control group.
The study confirmed the above family environment hypothesis. It found that when compared to the control group, the LDS …

Carl Bodmer: A Biographical Sketch, Hans Läng
Carl Bodmer: A Biographical Sketch, Hans Läng
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
Almost every illustrated work on North American Indians has pictures by Carl Bodmer, the gifted Swiss painter. Experts as well as interested laymen are impressed by his excellent portrayals of various types of Indians and their world. When we look for the artist's signature, however, we often find nothing but "after Wied" under the picture or else the name of an engraver. Thieme-Becker, Benezit, Nagel, and any number of other editors of the various encyclopedias of artists, refer to Carl Brun (Schwizerisches Kunstler-Lexikon, Frauenfeld 1905), whenever they mention Bodmer. And here, too, we find precious little information about the painter.
A Q-Sort Comparison Between Cultural Expectations Of Chinese And Cultural Perceptions Of Returned Latter-Day Saint Missionaries From The United States Who Had Been Assigned To Chinese Missions, Gary G. Y. Chu
Theses and Dissertations
This project was designed to generate information relative to a specific intercultural communication situation, especially directed toward diversity between cultural expectation and performance in the following areas: first, Chinese expectation of American Latter-day Saint missionaries' performance in Chinese contexts; and second, performance of the missionaries, as reflected by their knowledge of proper conduct in Chinese contexts at the end of their missions.
Using Q-card sorting procedures and t-test analysis, an analytically developed instrument consisting of seventy statements grouped in six behavior categories was applied in the specific areas. Twenty-nine of the seventy statements showed significant diversity. Four of the hypothesized …

The Development Of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints In Hawaii, Richard C. Harvey
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis depicts the development of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Hawaiian Islands from the landing of the first LDS missionaries in 1850 up to the 1970's. Church policy in Hawaii may be seen as an ordered, phasal development respectively involving spiritual, educational, and cultural spheres of interaction.
Prehistoric Bighorn Sheep In The Northern Sierra Nevada, California, Peter D. Schulz, Dwight D. Simons
Prehistoric Bighorn Sheep In The Northern Sierra Nevada, California, Peter D. Schulz, Dwight D. Simons
Great Basin Naturalist
Data from pictograph and archaeological sites in northeastern California are used to verify the postulated former existence of small resident populations of bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) in this region. The reason for the disappearance of bighorns from this area remains unclear, with climatic change, Euro-American settlement, or hunting pressure existing as possibilities.

Rene Naville, Amerindians Et Anciennes Cultures Precolombiennes: Book Review, Leo Schelbert
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
Rene Naville, an active diplomat and writer introduces his readers in this work to a variety of Swiss scholars who as travelers or as academicians have dealt with aspects of the native cultures of the Western Hemisphere. The study of these men is to reveal the Swiss presance in the Americans as well as Latin American and Amerindian presence in Switzerland. The auhor bases his findings mainly on secondary sources: this is an attempted synthesis, not a presentation of original new findings.

Reisebericht Der Familie Kopfli & Suppiger St. Louis Am Mississippi And Grundung Von New-Switzerland Im Staate Illinois: Book Review, Hedwig Rappolt
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
The book is a facsimile reproduction of the 1833 edition, a small volume appealing in appearance and pleasant to hold. It describes, in the form of a diary and letters, the experiences of a group of Swiss who emigrated to the prairies of Illinois. Two-thirds of it are devoted to the Journey, the ordeal of "getting there": from Sursee to Base l, through France to Havre, on a three-master to New York and over rivers and canals to St. Louis, Missouri the last stepping stone efore settling in Illinois.

The Peregrine Falcon In Utah, Emphasizing Ecology And Competition With The Prairie Falcon, Richard D. Porter, Clayton M. White
Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series
This study was undertaken to record the known history of the Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) in Utah as we have been able to construct it from both the literature and from our original research that extends over about a 30-year period in the state. The present total population of the peregrine in Utah is possibly only 10 percent of what it has been in historic times. In an effort to find explanations for the decline, we have explored hypotheses of climatic changes, impact of pesticides, disease, and human disturbances. We conclude that pesticide contamination and climatic changes may …

Observations On The School Systems In The United States And Switzerland, Erich A. Klee
Observations On The School Systems In The United States And Switzerland, Erich A. Klee
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
One of the recurrent themes in the long history of U.S.-Swiss relations has to do with the reciprocal interest in each other's educational systems. Americans went to visit the schools and institutes of Pestalozzi and Fellenberg in the early 19th century and returned full with ideas of how to improve schools over here. They had successors who time and again hoped to get inspiration for their own work by studying how the Swiss went about the important task of educating the young.

An Analysis Of The Role Of Temples In The Establishment Of Zion, C. Max Caldwell
An Analysis Of The Role Of Temples In The Establishment Of Zion, C. Max Caldwell
Theses and Dissertations
The establishment of Zion has been a goal of interest to every dispensation. The building of temples and participation in temple ordinances has likewise been a practice of many generations throughout history. In the present dispensation, Joseph Smith declared the need to construct temples in connection with the building of a Latter-day Zion.
The purpose of this study has been to discover a correlation between temple activity and the development of the Church membership in their preparation for the establishment of Zion. It has been concluded that the temples do perform a very significant role in the development of the …

The Dream Mine: A Study In Mormon Folklore, Joe Stanley Graham
Theses and Dissertations
In September of 1894, John Hyrum Koyle, Jr., said that he was shown in a dream or vision a large, rich deposit of gold and an underground storehouse of artifacts hidden by people of Ancient America. This dream was the beginning of a mining venture which has never produced anything of value, has been opposed vigorously by both officials of the LDS Church and the State, yet has claimed supporters numbered in the thousands.
The mine has profoundly affected (and continues to affect) the lives of many families who have come into the sphere of its influence. The lore of …

An Archaeological Survey Of Goshen Valley, Utah County, Central Utah, Leland Gilsen
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis is a field report on the archaeological sites surveyed by the author in Goshen Valley, Utah County, Utah. The survey has the threefold objectives of: (1) surveying and recording of sites in Goshen Valley; (2) providing information on the material culture of the ancient inhabitants of the valley; and (3) discovering whether there was a dividing line during the Fremont occupation between the Provo and Sevier regions as outlined by Jones (1961), Green (1964), and Ambler (1966).
To this end, seventy-four sites are described along with the related material culture with an analysis of the material culture in …
