Sally in Three Worlds: An Indian Captive in the House of Brigham Young
This engaging book relates a haunting story of displacement and resilience. Virginia Kerns, a professor emerita of anthropology at the College of William & Mary, resourcefully reconstructs the life of a Pahvant Ute known variously as Kahpeputz (Red Drum), Pidash, and Sally. Sold by a Ute trader to Brigham Young's brother-in-law and placed with Young's wife Clara, Sally lived for decades as a servant and cook in Young's household before marrying K…

Nancy K. Berlage. Farmers Helping Farmers: The Rise of the Farm and Home Bureaus, 1914–1935
In this well-researched study, Nancy K. Berlage offers a largely compelling, revisionist interpretation of the origins and early years of the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF). Scholars have generally approached the AFBF from the top down, often characterizing the organization as a highly centralized entity that claimed to represent all farmers but actually used public resources to advance the interests of elite commercial growers. By lookin…

Most of the pieces were originally published in the Utah Historical Quarterly between 1978 and 2016.

Inevitably, a collection of …

While other scholars have noted some of the connections, Swensen devotes sustained attention to them. In addition to the photogra…

Jess Gilbert. Planning Democracy: Agrarian Intellectuals and the Intended New Deal
In this engaging book Jess Gilbert narrates and evaluates what he calls “the most significant initiative of the entire New Deal in agriculture” (xiii). Gilbert is not referring to the oft-studied programs of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration, the Soil Conservation Service, or the Farm Security Administration. Notwithstanding the persistence of price supports and surplus reduction schemes that were developed during the New Deal, Gilbert i…
