| Author/Creator | Ajax, William, 1832-1899 |
| Biographical Note | Mormon pioneer. Welsh convert to the Mormon Church. Ajax settled in Utah in 1862 and ran a prosperous store in Rush Valley, Utah. |
| Summary/Description | Holographs, photographs, and typescripts of journals, 20 July - 27 December 1861; 1 January 1862 - 31 December 1863. The journals describe Ajax's activities as a missionary for the Mormon Church in England and Wales and include some newspaper clippings, part of which are from the Udgorn Seion, the Mormon publication in Wales. The clippings include British Mormon emigration statistics from 1841-1861. Ajax immigrated to the United States in 1862. Detailed diary entries describe the overland journey from Florence, Nebraska to Salt Lake City by ox team. Ajax comments on food, travelling conditions, and frequently mentions meeting Indians. He wrote exhaustively about a variety of aspects of the overland trail: its appearance, landmarks, and people. The journals also include an explanation of a phonographic alphabet system. Ajax writes about life in Utah and his service helping protect Brigham Young, second president of the Mormon Church. |
