"The Christensen Family: From Old World Denmark to New World Wisconsin and Minnesota" is the story of the author's Danish family, whose great-grandparents left behind poverty for a better life in America. Using Danish and U.S. records, Marsha Ann Matson weaves the lives of fictitious and real ancestors into the histories of Denmark, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. She describes the momentous events in Denmark and the United States, which pushed her great-grandparents, Marie and James Christensen, to leave their homeland in 1883, the year of peak Scandinavian immigration to America. Relying on support from Madsen, Jensen, and Skafte relatives who immigrated before them, Marie and James undertook a grueling ocean and overland train trip with three small children. They struggled to farm, educate their children in a rural one-room schoolhouse, and adjust to a new way of life. Biographies of the Christensen children, who grew up to became parents, teachers, farmers, and a judge, are examples of the success of Danish-Americans in America.

In 1856 the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints employed a new means of getting converts to Great Salt Lake City who could not afford the journey otherwise. They began using handcarts, thus initiating a five-year experiment that has become a legend in the annals of Mormon and North American migration. Only one in ten Mormon emigrants used handcarts, but of those 3,000 who did between 1856 and 1860, most survived the harrowing journey to settle Utah and become members of a remarkable pioneer generation. Others were not so lucky. More than 200 died along the way, victims of exhaustion, accident, and, for a few, starvation and exposure to late-season Wyoming blizzards. Now, Candy Moulton tells of their successes, travails, and tragedies in an epic retelling of a legendary story. The Mormon Handcart Migration traces each stage of the journey, from the transatlantic voyage of newly converted church members to the gathering of the faithful in the eastern Nebraska encampment known as Winter Quarters. She then traces their trek from the western Great Plains, across modern-day Wyoming, to their final destination at Great Salt Lake. The handcart experiment was the brainchild of Mormon leader Brigham Young, who decreed that the saints could haul their own possessions, pushing or pulling two-wheeled carts across 1,100 miles of rough terrain, much of it roadless and some of it untrodden. The LDS church now embraces the saga of the handcart emigrants—including even the disaster that befell the Martin and Willie handcart companies in central Wyoming in 1856—as an educational, faith-inspiring experience for thousands of youth each year. Moulton skillfully weaves together scores of firsthand accounts from the journals, letters, diaries, reminiscences, and autobiographies the handcart pioneers left behind. Depth of research and unprecedented detail make this volume an essential history of the Mormon handcart migration.

Three-year-old Hans Peter Christensen, later to become known as Peter Christian Christensen, began his arduous trip with his parents across the ocean from Denmark to America in 1853. His parents never finished the journey, his mother dying on board the ship outside of New Orleans and his father dying just as they reached Saint Louis. He crossed the plains as a young orphan to settle in Sanpete County, Utah. His descendants are mostly scattered throughout the western states, and this book relates their life stories.

Utah Art, Utah Artists surveys 150 years of the extraordinary talent and achievements of Utah artists. This overview ranges from the sublime paintings of a resourceful ranching woman to the polished work of artists trained in Paris, Rome, and New York. It highlights the rural and the cosmopolitan, the traditional and the modern, the concrete and the transcendent that encompass Utah art. This sweeping exhibition showcases 300 works of art by 220 artists painstakingly compiled from a list of 10,000 Utah artists. Selection was made in light of five considerations: quality of the work; critical acclaim and professional success of the artist; belated but deserved recognition of the artist; young emerging artists who are the future of art in Utah; and a representative sampling of periods, styles, mediums and geographic regions of the state. One hundred twenty of the artworks are reproduced in rich color, most illustrated for the first time. Selected works and biographical material on the artists are presented chronologically, providing a perspective on Utah art that will make this volume an essential reference for collectors, scholars, and enthusiasts of Utah art. Vern G. Swanson, Ph.D., has been the director of the Springville Museum of Art since 1980. He has written numerous books and articles and he is coauthor with Drs. R. S. Olpin and W. C.

Olpin, Ph.D., a University of Utah Professor of Art History, has become a familiar face on his eighteen-part television course on the Art Life in Utah series.
