Synopsis

The settlement of Goshen, Utah in 1857 is explored through contemporary diary entries of its founding leader, Phineas Wolcott Cook. A small group of early Latter-day Saint pioneers desiring to own land, made their way to this dry, dusty Wasatch valley trying to forge a living. Success was not guaranteed. They experimented with local self-government, received direction from church and state leaders, reacted to national and territorial events, and dealt with interpersonal conflict. This book explores their motivations, concerns, and actions during the 3 years that Cook presided over them as Bishop and civil leader. Goshen exemplifies a microcosm of early Utah history and settlement of the American West, especially in the context of early Latter-day Saint westward expansionism.
