At the end of the Mormon emigration season of 1854, the _Millennial Star_, the Church’s English newspaper, published a synopsis of the emigration that year: You see small groups, and sometimes even hundreds, sailing together on their way to Zion.

Great to see Utah send a statue of Martha Hughes Cannon to the Capitol's Emancipation Hall.
Fun fact: not only was she the first woman state senator in the nation, but she defeated her (polygamous) husband for the seat.
You can read more about her & Mormonism's surprising history in AMERICAN ZION!

Thinking today about Chiyo Koji Shiogi (the woman in this photo, holding her firstborn). Chiyo was the first LDS Japanese convert (1909) to immigrate to the mainland US (1912). She lived in Oregon with husband Sadaji, a farmer.

Big fans of LTU over here. Big fans. The biggest.
A great introduction to an important historian, Harvard's Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, her work ... and her quote, "Well behaved women seldom make history."

Bumping for Cathy and because we are also curious…
Historian friends, any recs for sources on gender/labor/photography/scrapbooks, esp in the American West? In the late 19th/early 20th cent Ellen Larson Smith had a thriving photography studio in the remote Mormon colonies of Ariz. Seen the 2020 Routledge. Photo: Mary Smith, 1908.
