| Summary: | "What an astonishing life and what a remarkable biography. Lewis Barney's sojourn on the hard edge of the American frontier is a forgotten epic ... [and} represents a living evocation of some of the most significant themes in American history ... [His] life stands as a testament to the real impact of he westering experience on a man and his family ... [This] detailed biography provides a participant's view of Mormonism's first six decades of controversy, hardship, and triumph, viewed from the bottom of the social heap ... Lewis Barney's lack of status adds tremendously to the value of this study, since so much nineteenth-century LDS biography has ignored the lives of ordinary people to celebrate a surprisingly small elite whose experiences were far different from those of the general Mormon population."--Will Bagley; from Back Cover. |
