    This journey

    Rare Books

    In this final collection, which was left virtually complete at the time of his death, James Wright returns with haunting insistence to the themes that have become hallmarks of one of the enduring poetic voices of our time: the evocation of the author's Ohio childhood and youth; the intense, minute observation of the daily life of the classic culture of Italy, that any modern American poet has achieved.--Jacket blurb.

    Heritage of valor: the life story of Joseph C. Rich and Ann Eliza Hunter Rich [microform]: approximately 1950

    Manuscripts

    Microfilm of the typescript manuscript of "Heritage of Valor," Ezra J. Poulsen's novelized life story of Joseph C. Rich and his wife Ann Eliza Hunter Rich. The story unfolds from approximately 1841-1930 and gives parallel accounts of the two protagonists' lives. Much of the story focuses on Joseph and Ann's experiences growing up Mormon and relating to their families, although it also includes stories of major life events such as Joseph's experiences crossing the plains to Utah, as a missionary in England and Wales, and in Bear Lake County, Idaho. The story appears to have been based on letters and family stories, and the microfilm includes a letter from Poulsen to Standley H. Rich laying an outline for the book and asking him various questions about his family's life.
