About this Item

29pp. Octavo [23 cm] Blue printed wrappers. Near fine. Signed by MacKinnon on the limitation page. Collector's Edition Keepsake for volume 11 of the Kingdom of the West series, 'At Sword's Point, Part 2: A Documentary History of the Utah War, 1858-1859.' The Utah War of 1857-58, the unprecedented armed confrontation between Mormon Utah Territory and the U.S. government, was the most extensive American military action between the Mexican and Civil Wars. The Kingdom in the West Series, subtitled 'The Mormons and the American Frontier,' is an award-winning series begun in 1997 that explored the story of the Latter-day Saints and their part in the greater history of the Western Frontier. The history of the Mormons in the American West is so sweeping it is easy to ignore episodes that, for one reason or another, found no place in the traditional annals of the region. This series explored the story of the Mormon people and their part in the greater history of the Western Frontier. Primary source documents, many of them previously unpublished, comprise this series' core.
