The Great Salt Lake Trail

This remarkable book was written by Colonel Henry Inman, Late Assistant Quartermaster, United States Army, author of The Old Santa Fe Trail, etc. and Colonel William F. Cody, "Buffalo Bill," Late Chief of Scouts. "Of the trials of the Mormons during their toilsome march and their difficulties with the government during the Civil War, this work will treat in a limited way, but its scope is to present the story of the Trail in the days long before the building of a railroad was believed to be possible. It will deal with the era of the trapper, the scout, the savage, and the passage of emigrants to the gold fields of California - when the only route was by the overland trail - and with the adventures which marked the long and weary march." Topics include: Sir Alexander Mackenzie's Expedition, The Expedition of Lewis and Clark, Captain Ezekiel Williams' Expedition to the Platte Valley in 1807, General W. H. Ashley's Trapping Expedition, Captain William Sublette's Expedition in 1832, Trading-posts of the Great Fur Companies, The Morman Hegira, General Harney's Expedition, the Mountain Meadow Massacre, The World-famed Pony Express, Colonel Cody's Story, The Indian Tribes of the Salt Lake Trail, The Sioux Nation, Around the Camp-fire in a Trapper's Bivouac, The Story of the Building of the Union Pacific Railroad, and much, much more. Numerous illustrations, a map of the Great Salt Lake Trail, and an index to names, places and subjects add to the value of this work.

The first mass killings of the Romanian Holocaust in late June to early July 1941 brutally claimed thousands of victims and marked the beginning of the government's plan to "cleanse the land" of Jews. Moreover, of all the Third Reich's allies, only Romania undertook its genocide campaign without the intervention of Himmler's SS. In The Origins and Onset of the Romanian Holocaust, author Henry Eaton traces the historical path to this tragedy by examining both Romania's antisemitic history and looking at the initial mass killings in detail.
 First, Eaton traces the roots of the Romanian government's decision to exterminate Jews in Romania and in its annexed areas through its long and often violent antisemitic past. While the decision to target the Jews might have been ordered by dictator Ion Antonescu and his top civil and military officials, Eaton argues that it found its basis in an entrenched cultural abuse of Jews dating back to the nineteenth century. In the second section, Eaton analyzes the Romanian government's first killing operations: the execution of 311 Jewish men, women, and children at Stânca Rosnovanu by men of the Romanian 6th Cavalry Regiment; the great pogrom in the city of Iasi triggered by agents of the government's intelligence service; and the two "death trains" in which some 2,700 pogrom survivors perished in freight cars turned into ovens by the summer heat. In the final chapters, Eaton examines the victims and perpetrators in detail and addresses the possible German connections to the killings.
 The Origins and Onset of the Romanian Holocaust persuasively challenges the idea that Romania's adoption of murder as state policy was due to outside pressure. Eaton's volume will be illuminating reading for Holocaust studies scholars and readers interested in World War II history.
