Beskrivelse af Ogden
""Ogden: The Underwriters of Salvation"" is a historical non-fiction book written by Bernard De Voto. The book is a detailed account of the development of the city of Ogden, Utah, and the role played by the Mormon Church in its growth. The author explores the history of the city from its founding in the mid-19th century to the present day, highlighting the significant events and individuals that have shaped its history.De Voto delves into the early days of Ogden, when the city was little more than a small trading post on the banks of the Weber River. He describes the arrival of the Mormon pioneers and their efforts to establish a permanent settlement in the area. The author also explores the role of the Mormon Church in the development of the city, including its influence on the local economy, politics, and culture.Throughout the book, De Voto provides a rich and detailed portrait of life in Ogden over the years, including the growth of the city's railroads, the impact of the Great Depression, and the changes brought about by World War II. He also examines the city's social and cultural evolution, from its early days as a Mormon settlement to its modern-day status as a diverse and vibrant community.Overall, ""Ogden: The Underwriters of Salvation"" is a fascinating and informative book that offers a unique perspective on the history of Utah and the American West. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the region or the role of religion in American society.THIS 44 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Taming of the Frontier, by Bernard De Voto.
