About This Item
1873 1ed Undeveloped West Beadle Navajo INDIANS Mormons California GOLD Texas
John H Beadle was a member of the Mormon expedition across the United States to the American West. He made notes and reports on the excursion and ultimately published a fascinating work on every aspect of the trip. Beadle wrote 'The Undeveloped West' which turned out to be an autobiography of sorts, describing Beadle's time in Utah and his voyage westward. It includes accounts of time in Texas, Yosemite and California, and Nevada.
Beadle also includes numerous descriptions of Native American Indian tribes such as the Navajo and Mexicans, Aztec descendants, gold and silver mining, railroad construction, and the rise of Mormons in Utah.
