=== New U.S. Releases =========================

The following new titles are now available on our web store:

Frank Esshom, PIONEERS AND PROMINENT MEN OF UTAH, Comprising
Photographs - Genealogies – Biographies (Salt Lake City,
Utah, 1913).  GB0212.
The author has collected nearly six thousand photographs of
Utah pioneers (before 1869) and other prominent early members
of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In a
separate section are included brief biographical and
genealogical sketches of these men and many more from the
same era.

This large volume is divided into three sections. The first
seven hundred pages are devoted to the photographs, nine to a
page. Next are the sketches, filling nearly six hundred
pages. The book concludes with a brief chronological history
of the church.

The pioneers are those who arrived in Utah between 24 July
1647 and 30 December 1868, before the coming of the railroad.
To these are added other prominent Utahans who arrived after
the coming of the railroad, such as stake presidents, ward
bishops and governors.

The author collected the material by travelling around the
state and interviewing the pioneers themselves, or their
descendants, and following up with correspondence. This
volume is, therefore, much like the mugbooks and genealogies
created about this time, in that it includes reliable data on
recent generations which may not be easily found by modern
researchers in surviving records.

Andrew Jenson, LATTER-DAY SAINT BIOGRAPHICAL ENCYCLOPEDIA: A
Compilation of Biographical Sketches of Prominent Men and
Women in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 4
vols. (Salt Lake City, Utah, 1901-1936).  GB0213.
These four volumes comprise more than three thousand
biographies of the early leaders of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints, many accompanied by photographs.
The author has included accounts of all the general
authorities and many of the presidents and bishops of the
stakes and wards.

Andrew Jenson was Assistant Church Historian, and so these
sketches carry the authorization of the church. The sketches
are organized hierarchically, beginning with Joseph Smith and
Brigham Young, and continuing through the fifth president,
Lorenzo Snow, still living at the time of the publication of
this volume. These are followed by accounts of the
counsellors to the presidents, the members of the Council of
Twelve Apostles, and so on down the church structure.

Sketches of many women are included. This is especially the
case in the final volume, which includes biographical
information on the leaders of the missions and of the many
support groups of the church, such as the Mutual Improvement
Associations.
