Microfilm of typescript abridgement of James G. Bleak's annals of the Southern Utah Mission, 1847-1869, Volume 1. The stated purpose of the ledger is "recording events of importance with reference to the founding, growth, and development of 'Utah's Dixie'," including Fort Harmony, Santa Clara, Washington, St. George, Virgin City, Toquerville, Clover Valley, Panaca (in modern day Nevada), Kanarra, St. Thomas, West Point, and Spring Valley. Included are lists of settlers; notes on irrigation, agriculture, and the construction of mills; records of local elections; accounts of various floods; records of local exploring expeditions; and descriptions of encounters, both peaceful and violent, with local Indians. Some specific events recounted include the coming of the Utah War (1857), the Mountain Meadows Massacre, the founding of the San Bernardino (California) ranch, and George A. Smith's expedition to Parowan. Individuals frequently mentioned include Parley P. Pratt, Brigham Young, John D. Lee, Erastus Snow, Heber Kimball, and Orson Pratt. Includes partial index.
