Spokane: Arthur H. Clark Company, 2003. 1/55. 18pp. Octavo [23 cm] Blue printed wrappers. Near fine. Signed by Bigler on the limitation page. Collector's Edition Keepsake for volume 6 of the Kingdom of the West series, 'Fort Limhi: The Mormon Adventure in Oregon Territory, 1855-1858.' In 1855 the Mormons established a mission at the foot of famous Lemhi Pass near Salmon River, where the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery first crossed the Continental Divide and Sacagawea was reunited with her brother. Fort Limhi was, at first, part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' outreach to the Indians throughout the West. But the mission soon assumed a critical role in Brigham Young's plans for the Saints as they faced the imminent confrontation with the U.S. government which came to be known as the Utah War

The Kingdom in the West Series, subtitled 'The Mormons and the American Frontier,' is an award-winning series begun in 1997 that explored the story of the Latter-day Saints and their part in the greater history of the Western Frontier. The history of the Mormons in the American West is so sweeping it is easy to ignore episodes that, for one reason or another, found no place in the traditional annals of the region. This series explored the story of the Mormon people and their part in the greater history of the Western Frontier. Primary source documents, many of them previously unpublished, comprise this series' core.
