Autobiography and diary of David Candland [microform] : c.1841-1900
Manuscripts
Microfilm of the autobiography and diary of David Candland, which covers the years from 1841-1860 and 1900. The autobiography describes Candland's conversion to Mormonism, his immigration to the United States, a brief account of his mission to Britain in 1846, notes on his time in Winter Quarters and Kanesville, his 1853 mission to the Green River, his involvement in theatre work, and his work as a store clerk. The diary entries describe the arrival of Col. Thomas Kane in Utah and the coming of the Utah War from 1857 ("I am ready for the War of Independence," Candland wrote, "I hope to be brave"), the 1859 opening and closing of the Globe Hotel ("The hotel enterprise has failed," Candland lamented), and his dislike of work at the mercantile store ("The place does not suit me," he wrote, "I hear so much profanity and see so much drinking that I am ill at ease"). The diary entries end in 1860 before briefly resuming in 1900. Included in the volume are genealogical notes; lists of Candland's ecclesiastical, military, and legislative offices; and lists of marriages, births, baptisms, and deaths.
