SMITH 329 In this issue As with the story of mankind generally, the history of Utah has derived its complexion and animation from men and ideas in conflict. From the time of earliest exploration to the present, Utah's stage has never known an interlude in the most fascinating of all dramas: disparate personalities and views fixed in a state of kinetic tension. This issue recalls a half-dozen acts from that busy platform, illuminates them with historical perspective, and offers them as a representative sample of the Utah experience. Just as conflict impelled the Mormons westward, so their arrival in the Great Basin immediately precipitated a series of skirmishes-some open and violent, such as with the Native Americans reluctant to share the land; some more subtle, as with the federal appointees who challenged the Mormons' desire for political autonomy. These matters are scrutinized in the first two selections. War and preparation for war provide the setting for the remaining articles. The Civil War, though fought far from the western territories, had a lasting impact on the Ute Indians, and the telling of that story is long overdue. Similarly, the mobilization of Utah National Guard units for duty on the Mexican border is not a well-known event even though it affected thousands of people and provided an important rehearsal for participation in the world war that followed. Black soldiers stationed at Fort Douglas and interacting with a dubious white community just before and after the Spanish-American War is an equally interesting and long-awaited story. The final piece details the controversy surrounding the U.S.S. Utah silver service design. Little more than a footnote in Utah history, the incident is nevertheless profound for what it reveals of conflict as the pervasive force in human affairs. |
