Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Brand new softcover book! 14 photographs, 1 map; "Romney's unique vantage point is the strongest draw of this narrative: Romney and his family lived much of their life in the Mexican Mormon colonies. But the narrative's value is much broader and deeper than just that. Romney's insights into Mexican politics and personalities, and his view of the course of history from inside rather than from outside, are fascinating, colorful and opinionated. He was clear about who he admired and why, and who he did not. " from the ForewordIn the 1880s, as a precondition to granting Utah statehood, the United States government enacted laws to put a stop to the Mormon practice of polygamy. Those who continued to practice this principle were forced underground as federal marshals roamed the territory searching for "polygs. " In response, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints looked for safe places to send its members; many found refuge across the border in Mexico. Unavailable since its original publication in 1938, this important document of a little-known chapter in Mormon history is now reprinted with a foreword by Martha Sonntag Bradley. Romney was raised and spent much of his life in the colonies, making this book is a significant contribution to LDS history. It chronicles a new kind of Mormon pioneer facing the hardships of an unfamiliar land, a tenuous relationship with the government, and the necessary fortitude to hold fast to one's belief in the face of difficulty and trial. ; 6" x 9"; 350 pages.…

First Edition. First edition. Romney provides a history of the colonies with a chapter on "Mormonism" for those unfamiliar with church history and doctrines. "Some years ago, when captivated by Dr. Romney's tales of pioneer days on the vast Plains of Chihuahua, in the semi-tropical valleys of Sonora, and in the formidable Sierra Madre that lies between . I urged him to write his personal experiences during that life, so full of adventure and of human significance. Now in this book, he has fulfilled my wish, and in it has gone beyond to write a full-length account of the migration and settlement in which he took part." - Dr. Herbet E. Bolton, foreword. The colonies were first established by Mormons fleeing from U.S. authorities for the practice of polygamy; and for a time flourished there -- until the Mexican Revolution in 1910, when anti-foreign sentiment resulted in threats to their lives and property. 8vo gilt-stamped brown pebbled-grain cloth boards; 338 pages including index. Illustrated with 13 pages of photographs and a folding map showing the general location of the colonies. Spine shows a few scuffs, spine ends softened and a bit rubbed, spine lettering slightly dulled otherwise very good or better. Relatively uncommon in the first edition.…
