A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

Samuel Roskelley's autobiography, written for the benefit of his family, shows that he could tell a story--his story--and make it live in words and images that make reading it a pleasure, even more than a hundred and a quarter years after it was first set down. The writer was a literate, mid-nineteenth century English immigrant to Utah Territory. He arrived in the Great Basin at a time when travel really was a life-in-your-hands adventure. The section selected and presented here is only the first part of a longer, incomplete work. As presented in these pages, Samuel begins his account in an English port city, and concludes as a dusty, footsore, trail-worn young man arrives in a corner of an entirely foreign world he had decided--without ever seeing it--to call home.

� propos des auteurs

Sixteen year old Mormon convert Samuel Roskelley emigrated to Utah Territory in 1853. Most of his remaining life was spent in Cache Valley, Utah. This portion of his reminiscent autobiography relates his life and conversion in Devonport, England and his transcontinental journey to Salt Lake City.

Richard Saunders is a second-great-grandson of Samuel Roskelley. He holds a PhD in history from the University of Memphis and is the author of several books of US social history. He is a working librarian and Dean of Libraries at Southern Utah University.
