5b Hubert Howe Bancroft, History of Utah, 1890, from the library of Gordon B. Hinkley

Notes

The History of Utah by Hubert Howe Bancroft, published in 1890, is part of his extensive series on the American West. The book details Utah’s early history, including the arrival of Mormon pioneers, conflicts with Native Americans, and tensions with the U.S. government over polygamy and statehood. Though criticized for relying on secondary sources and reflecting 19th-century biases, it remains a valuable resource for understanding Utah’s formative years and the influence of the LDS Church.
