Historical NoteReturn to Top

Madeline Reeder McQuown (1906-1975) was born 31 March 1906 in Ogden, Utah. She was educated in the public schools in Ogden and then attended Weber College and the University of Utah. Although she spent several years in San Francisco and San Jose, California, she lived most of her life in Ogden. An early marriage to Jarvis Thurston, an instructor of mathematics at Weber College, ended in 1940. On 28 January 1941, she married Thomas McQuown. Throughout her life Madeline McQuown's greatest interest was writing. Her early years were spent writing poetry and fiction. In the early 1930s she attended the Breadloaf School for Writers at Middlebury College in Vermont. Her poem "To Those Unsuspecting" was published in 1939 in an anthology by the students and faculty of Breadloaf, including Robert Frost. Later her attention turned to researching and writing a biography of Brigham Young, which she never completed. In addition Mrs. McQuown wrote numerous essays on Utah and the Mormons and book reviews. Unfortunately, few of her published works are available. Dale Morgan and Madeline McQuown worked together on the Works Progress Administration (WPA) Federal Writers' Project, and during the 1930s and forties they corresponded frequently. In Morgan's correspondence there are commentaries on the works of Utah's most noted historians including Fawn M. Brodie, Juanita Brooks, and Bernard DeVoto, whom Mrs. McQuown greatly admired. It was with Dale Morgan's advice and support that Mrs. McQuown worked for thirty years on her biography of Brigham Young. Madeline McQuown also corresponded with LeConte Stewart, who had been her high school art instructor, and collected many of his paintings. With these historians, critics, and artists, Madeline McQuown shared a fascination and love for the history and culture of the West. Mrs. McQuown died in Ogden on 29 May 1975.

Content DescriptionReturn to Top

The Madeline R. McQuown papers (1803-1976) is divided into two main sections. The first contains personal materials, correspondence, and manuscripts. The majority of the correspondence is from Dale L. Morgan. His numerous letters to Mrs. McQuown, spanning the years 1940 to 1968, are filled with information on Mormon history and advice for the biography on Brigham Young that she was writing. Also included is correspondence between Dale Morgan and Fawn Brodie, Juanita Brooks, Wallace Stegner, Charles Kelly, and others. The letters are a valuable insight into Dale Morgan's research, much of which he shared with Madeline McQuown.

The personal materials are scant and are composed mostly of awards, miscellaneous receipts, and notes. A charcoal portrait of Madeline, by Dale L. Morgan, and childhood photographs of Mr. Morgan are especially interesting.

Although there are few items that can be called personal, Madeline McQuown's poems and short stories offer an insight into her character. There are examples of her poetry from the years 1927 to 1966; many short stories, essays (complete and incomplete), and drafts for several novels; a complete copy of an unpublished novel, "The American Dream"; and six incomplete chapters to "The King of Deseret, The Life of Brigham Young." Madeline's personal reminiscences of LaConte Stewart, Dale Morgan, and Bernard DeVoto are among the short stories and essays.

The collection also contains several short stories by Dale Morgan; typed drafts and page and galley proofs for several of Mr. Morgan's books; a final draft of Jedediah Smith with Dale Morgan's editorial notes and revisions; and an unrevised first draft of the first three chapters of Dale Morgan's history of the Mormon church.

The second and largest section of the collection is composed of Madeline McQuown's research files that she collected over a period of years in preparation for her biography of Brigham Young. In the early 1940s, with the encouragement of friends, she began the biography, and though she worked on it until her death in 1975, it was never completed. The collection includes a complete manuscript for chapter one only and various incomplete and rough drafts of five additional chapters. Whether a complete manuscript ever existed is not known. Rinehart and Company contracted for publication of the book, but dropped their option in 1953 when no manuscript seemed imminent.

The research files reflect Madeline McQuown's method of investigation as well as information provided by associates and friends. Dale Morgan was the principal contributor, and the collection contains much of his valuable work. As state supervisor for the Utah Works Progress Administration Federal Writers' Project, Dale Morgan obtained a fairly complete file of the pioneer biographies gathered throughout the state. These sketches were collected through interviews or taken from diaries, journals, or memoirs, and are, for the most part, very brief, although there are complete transcripts of some lengthy ones. Madeline McQuown acquired a portion of these WPA biography files from Dale Morgan for use in her writing.

The biographical research information in the collection begins with Mrs. McQuown's notes, copies of some published works, and lists of materials available about Joseph Smith and Brigham Young. Two separate alphabetical files follow--the first contains the WPA biographies and the second a group of biographical notes and sketches from a variety of sources. The biographical sketches include photocopies of journals, extracts from diaries and journals, and brief notes.

Because Madeline McQuown's biography of Brigham Young was to be comprehensive and to view the man as a product of his times, she collected background materials about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and religions in America. Her research notes about the LDS Church come from a variety of manuscripts and published sources, including the "Journal History" of the LDS church, the Journal of Discourses, and material from numerous historical societies and libraries. The materials have been divided into several categories such as organization and doctrine; historical periods; schisms of the original church, especially following the death of Joseph Smith; emigration to Utah; and subjects relative to Utah, 1847 to 1900. Of particular interest are the files of anti-Mormon publications. Most of these are notes or typescripts of pamphlets dating from the early periods of the LDS Church, 1830 to about 1850. There are some photocopies of pamphlets and statements, and some copies of recent articles and publications. Some pro-Mormon pamphlets and scholarly works on the LDS Church are also included. Many of these pamphlets were provided by Dale Morgan.

Correspondence from individuals contemporary with the growth and development of the LDS Church is filed alphabetically. The letters copied by Dale Morgan from the National Archives files are divided by department and filed chronologically. Correspondence from other libraries or historical repositories include brief extracts, typescripts, and some photocopies.

Included in the collection are five boxes of extracts from newspapers. These are the result of research done by Dale Morgan for his projected multi-volume history of the LDS Church. He gave them to Mrs. McQuown to assist her research on Brigham Young. From eastern and California newspapers, the extracts are all related to the growth and development of the LDS Church. They have been, substantially, left as organized by Dale Morgan with a complete name and state index filed with the newspapers. One box of notes and extracts from eastern and Utah newspapers by Mrs. McQuown is also included.

Dale Morgan's references from the "Journal History" of the LDS Church and other miscellaneous notes are contained in Boxes 50 and 51. Notes showing the influence of Dale Morgan, Fawn M. Brodie, and others on Madeline McQuown's concept of the Brigham Young biography are also filed in Box 51.

2	1	Dale L. Morgan-Madeline R. McQuown Morgan writes to McQuown of his research in the National Archives, passing on historical information pertinent to her research on Brigham Young and discussing his ideas about Mormon history. Only a few of the letters are of a personal nature. A personal note thanking McQuown for a poem and describing a recent chess tournament. He mentions completing the first chapter of his novel, 1940. A postcard from the home of Brigham Young describing the beautiful drive from Salt Lake to St. George. 1941. A memorandum about the Mormon expulsion from Nauvoo. Morgan comments on the psychological relationship between Mormons and anti-Mormons in Illinois. Each side thought the worst of the other, to the point of fanaticism. DeVoto, Morgan says, implies that the mob made its final onslaught on Nauvoo because of the weakness of the city. But Morgan argues that as the Mormon leadership left for the West, the poorer elements and criminal fringe remained in the city. This reenforced the anti-Mormon opinion and a feeling of righteous justification for the invasion of the city grew. Morgan concludes the letter saying "Something of this point of view, in a really objective commentary on the final Nauvoo scenes, should be expressed.," 1942. Letter Thanking McQuown for a List of Manuscripts, 1942. Morgan writes of encouraging Juanita Brooks to write a book of personal reminiscences, "a new book of which I am what you might call the spiritual father." Mrs. Brooks had sent Morgan several chapters and he sent several reprinted episodes to McQuown. The letter concludes with a handwritten reminder that DeVoto's The Literary Fallacy will soon be published, 1944. Morgan describes a visit from Fawn M. Brodie and gives McQuown several ideas for her Brigham Young book. He suggests that she read Brigham Young's correspondence of 1851-1857 as ex-officio superintendent of Indian Affairs and the correspondence between Young and Bernhisel found in the Coe Collection. Dale then summarizes the many libraries with important Mormon history materials which he and McQuown must someday visit, 1944. Morgan relates a visit from a Mrs. Porter who brought him much gossip from Salt Lake City, 1944. This letter accompanied a copy of DeVoto's The Literary Fallacy sent to McQuown (Morgan and McQuown frequently exchanged books). Morgan gives his characteristic unrestrained criticisms of the book. Generally, he says, the book is better than the reviews say. However, "I am disposed to doubt that DeVoto's preoccupation with the literary mind is the most profitable use he could make of his time. . ." DeVoto's talent is in a unique method of interpreting American culture not in "taking other writers apart." While on the subject of DeVoto, Morgan repeats some of his objections to the Year of Decision. He particularly objects to some of DeVoto's judgments about the Indians. At the time the book was published he sent DeVoto several pages of corrections and recommended he read some current studies in anthropology, 1944. Morgan announces the arrival of his file cabinet, full of research materials. He delights that his personal research library is nearly complete with the arrival of the file and the thirty-two volume Early Western Travels series, 1944. Morgan reports on the negotiations with Rinehart and Company, Inc., about the The Great Salt Lake. He also comments on the status of Fawn Brodie's No Man Knows My History, 1944.	1940-1944
2	2	Dale L. Morgan-Madeline R. McQuown Morgan apologizes for neglecting to send information to McQuown. He suggests for sources several letters from Brigham Young to his wives. He then relates an incident at the Genealogical Archives in which Fawn Brodie was mistakenly given records on the marriages of Joseph Smith. When the error was discovered she was asked to destroy her notes on the material, 1946 Short letter about materials sent to McQuown and not returned, 1846 Morgan writes of completing The Great Salt Lake only to find a snag with some documentation in one chapter. His job at the Office of Price Administration (OPA) is coming to a close and the financial transition from the OPA to a Guggenheim Fellowship depresses him. Morgan questions McQuown on the status of her Brigham Young manuscript and scolds her for her vagueness on the subject, 1946. Explanation of materials sent to McQuown, 1946.	1946
2	3	Dale L. Morgan-Madeline R. McQuown Morgan worries about his financial situation and hopes that several short articles he is writing will help. He is working on the page proofs and index to The Great Salt Lake as well as abstracting midwestern and eastern newspapers on the Mormons, 1947. Letter announcing shipment "Journal History" to McQuown and comments on Fawn Brodie's book, 1947. Morgan's long hours of research are having an affect on his health. His eyes have been troubling him and he resolves to reduce his work hours (normally ten to fourteen hours per day). Morgan responds to McQuown's criticisms of The Great Salt Lake saying, "I am not thin-skinned about criticism, I hand it out and receive it in the same spirit, which regards a book as a problem in technique, not an extension of one's personality." He outlines plans for a trip through the Southwest to gather research materials. The letter closes with a brief report on the sales of No Man Knows My History, 1947. Stanley Ivins has given Morgan information on Brigham Young's marital affairs, which Morgan has in turn passed on to McQuown. He suggests that Ivin's contribution to her research be credited in her book, 1947. Handwritten note written while traveling from Washington, D. C., to Chicago. McQuown was driving form Utah to Washington, D. C., collecting information for her Brigham Young manuscript. She abandoned the journey in Chicago and Morgan has come to retrieve the car. He scolds her for quitting her research so soon. The book cannot be written without a better understanding on her part of the political situation in Illinois in the 1840s. Morgan plans to use the travel time to write an article on the Mormons as a minority for Harper's, 1947. While researching in the Library of Congress Morgan has found some articles in the 1877 New York Times about Brigham Young and the Aiken murders, 1947 Explanation of microfilms from the New York Public Library and from Fawn Brodie that Morgan has sent McQuown. He outlines plans for a trip in the fall of 1947. Check for the lease of foreign rights to The Great Salt Lake enables Morgan to buy a microfilm reader. He suggests that McQuown purchase it in Utah and he will come for it later. Again he questions her on the status of her book, 1947.	1947
2	4	Dale L. Morgan-Madeline R. McQuown Morgan has left Arlington, Virginia, and is on the road doing research throughout the East and the Midwest. He writes of his twelve-hour days in the New York Public Library and New York Historical Society. He comments on DeVoto's newly published book, Across the Wide Missouri, calling it a "more solid book than Year of Decision, less of a tour de force and less cluttered up with the master of ceremonies, but less coruscating and in some respects less well-focused." 1947. Short notice of books shipped to Utah, 1947. Dale describes the drive from New York to New England and his visit to the Smith farm on the White River and the Young farmhouse near Whitingham, Vermont, 1947. Note with manuscript, 1947. Note on research of William Strang, 1947. Personal Christmas note, 1947. Note of research in RLDS library, 1947.	1947
2	5	Dale L. Morgan-Madeline R. McQuown Morgan's research at the Reorganized church library is hampered by S. A. Burgess, church historian. The church officials were displeased with the point-of-view taken in Fawn Brodie's book and fear the outcome of Morgan's work. A frank discussion with Burgess and a visit to Israel Smith, president of the Reorganized church, solves most of the difficulties. Still, Morgan must work at a slower pace than usual with Burgess constantly by his side. Morgan makes several observations on the Book of Mormon manuscript and original printer's copy of the Book of Commandments available at the Reorganized church library. He also mentions applying for a year's extention on the Guggenheim Fellowship, 1948. Reflections on Bernard DeVoto, 1948. Bad weather has delayed Morgan's journey and he outlines his revised itinerary. He comments on his satisfaction with his specific research and his study of history in general. "My interests in history are really dual, a literary approach to it, and what could be called the pure scientific approach, the writing of things for no reward except the satisfaction of getting the record straight and extending the area of our knowledge." His time at the Missouri Historical Society was spent researching the fur trade. He announces his intentions to write several articles on Smith, Jackson, and Sublette which will "...somewhat revolutionize general knowledge of the fur trade..." 1948. Personal note, 1948. Juanita Brooks writes to Morgan of the discovery of a grave on the Old Spanish Trail dated May 9, 1814. She plans to investigate and determine the authenticity of the date, 1949. Morgan's plan to return to Washington D.C. in search of a job, 1949.	1948-1949
2	6	Dale L. Morgan-Madeline R. McQuown Morgan's difficulties in finding a job, 1950. Morgan's difficulties with civil service, 1950. Morgan has searched the Library of Congress for secret letters between President James Buchanan and Thomas L. Kane. He has found none, contrary to McQuown's insistance that such letters exist. He scolds McQuown for failure to complete her book and her endless, demanding questions. He is willing to make corrections and suggestions, as he has done for Fawn Brodie, Wallace Stegner, Bernard DeVoto, and Juanita Brooks, but she must send him the manuscript. About his own writing he says, "My main objective is to have a reader say, not 'what a brilliant writer this fellow Morgan is,' but 'So that's the truth of the matter.'" 1950. Again Morgan advises McQuown on letters to and from Thomas L.Kane. They are likely to be found in the War Department and Indian Office files, but he has not the time to look, 1950. Kane letters, 1950. Personal note describing new apartment, 1950. Morgan's difficulty with work, 1950. Israel A. Smith, president of the Reorganized Church of Latter Day Saints, and Francis W. Kirkham visit Morgan to discuss his impending book. Morgan makes a camparison of the various manuscripts and early printed copies of the Book of Mormon, 1950. Morgan describes new information on the rendezvous of 1837 he has received from Edward Eberstadt and Sons, 1950. Some short criticisms of Mountain Meadows Massacre, by Juanita Brooks. Morgan explains his transcriptions of and index to the "Journal History" which he sent to McQuown, and the difficulties between Stan Ivins, McQuown, Morgan, and the Church Historian's Office over various materials, 1950.	1950
2	7	Dale L. Morgan-Madeline R. McQuown Morgan's work as a free-lance writer is picking up. The New York Times Book Review and Life magazine are interested in short articles. However, he is still looking for a government job. Some notes about the publication of his Strangite bibliography, 1951. Morgan is busy completing an article for the Utah Historical Quarterly. The original work on the manuscript was done by J. Roderic Korns. After Korn's death, Morgan completed the editing, a task he calls "truly heroic." This unique collection of diaries, journals, and maps on the trail west from Fort Bridger "is going to be received as a truly definitive work, and in the light of it, all books concerned either with the Donners or the Hastings Cutoff require to be rewritten." Wallace Stegner suggests that Morgan apply for a Rockefeller Fellowship in order to relieve his financial troubles and allow him to work full-time on the Jedediah Smith manuscript, 1951. Personal letter, 1951. Personal letter about McQuown book, 1951. Charles Eberstadt has sent Morgan a letterpress book of John W. Young and a small pocket diary containing correspondence of Brigham Young as lieutenant general of the Nauvoo Legion in 1844. From another rare book dealer, Everett Graff, Morgan has received eighteen letters written to Frederick Dellenbaugh between 1911 and 1919 by E. D. Smith, a grandnephew of Jedediah Smith. Juanita Brooks writes Morgan of her work with the John D. Lee journals, 1951. Short note about information Juanita Brooks found in the John D. Lee journals, 1951. Morgan makes plans to collect a Union Catalog of works on Mormonism for the Utah State Historical Society, 1951. Morgan asks for return of materials, 1951.	1951
2	8	Dale L. Morgan-Madeline R. McQuown Describes the Smith Ogden route of 1825 and expresses his wish to visit the area, 1951. He is working in the Library of Congress on materials for the Jedediah Smith manuscript. He complains about his poverty, 1951. Morgan speculates on the reasons Steptoe declined the territorial governorship of Utah, circa 1855. 1951. Letter About Financial Situation, 1951. Morgan answers questions from McQuown about the financial honesty of the Indian department in Utah during Brigham Young's superintendency. Morgan has found evidence that William Ashley and Jedediah Smith were partners from the fall of 1825 to the summer of 1826. 1951. Morgan has made an agreement with Edward Eberstadt and Sons, Inc. to evaluate some of their materials on Mormon history. He answers questions concerning the early period of the church, 1951. Morgan describes letters from Hiram Rumfield, superintendent for the Overland Mail Company in Utah in the 1860s, 1951.	1951
2	9	Dale L. Morgan-Madeline R. McQuown Morgan dissolves the contract with Rinehart for the Mormon books because he was unable to meet the deadline. Instead he signs with Bobbs Merrill for a biography of Jedediah Smith to be published in January of 1953. Morgan's eyesight worsens and his physician tells him there is little that can be done to improve it. He resigns himself to the problem and vows to work harder on the Smith biography. Two friends have offered to help him improve his lip-reading ability. Although touched by their concern, he only reluctantly agrees. He describes the journals of John D. Lee known to exist and comments on their availability, 1952. "Without any pretensions as a letter, this amounts merely to conversation with you from time to time as a reflective mood comes upon me." He reflects on his artwork and contemplates taking it up again and projects his writing interest over the next several years--including the biography of Jedediah Smith, a three-volume book on the Mormons, and a concise one volume biography of Manuel Lisa, 1952. At home for a family gathering, Morgan takes time to search for some of John D. Lee's journals and diaries and to inquire about employment with the Historical Society. On the reverse of the last page is a handwritten note dated March 31 wishing Madeline McQuown a happy birthday, 1952. Personal note, 1953. Morgan finishes a bibliography, 1953. Short personal note, 1953. Taos, New Mexico postcard, 1953.	1952-1953
2	10	Dale L. Morgan-Madeline R. McQuown Washington D.C. postcard, 1964. Short note about apartment hunting, 1967. Personal note, 1967. Salt Lake City postcard, 1968.	1964-1968
2	11	Dale L. Morgan-Madeline R. McQuown Incomplete Letters Portions of letters from which all personal material has been removed. The remaining pieces contain the exchange of information and research materials pertinent to McQuown's Brigham Young biography. Many pieces bear her handwritten comments. Morgan criticizes Bernard DeVoto, 1944. Morgan and J. Roderic Korns visit Weber Canyon for a discussion on the Hastings Trail in light of a rare map found by Morgan in the Library of Congress. The map was drawn by T. H. Jefferson who apparently overtook Hastings in the lower Weber Canyon and accompanied him the rest of the way to California, 1945.	1944-1947
2	12	Dale L. Morgan-Madeline R. McQuown Incomplete Letters	1950-1959
2	13-20	Dale L. Morgan-Madeline R. McQuown Scraps and Pieces of Letters The remnants of letters, presumably from Morgan to McQuown, that have been torn apart. Most pieces contain information relative to her research on Brigham Young. A few, however, are personal, particularly the three items in Folder 20.
2	21	Dale L. Morgan-Fawn M. Brodie Morgan writes to Brodie of rare books and pamphlets on Mormonism including Abominations of Mormonism Exposed, Life Among the Mormons, and The Destroying Angels of Mormondom. He extracts at length from the latter, 1947. Letter about dates for Joseph Smith's wives, 1944 On reading John C. Bennet's History of the Saints, Morgan has found a note on the wives of Joseph Smith. The women were listed by initial only, but he thinks that in conjunction with other evidence, they can be positively identified. This interesting piece of detective work later appeared in No Man Knows My History. Dale also calls Fawn's attention to a letter from Joseph Smith to Prescinda Buell in the History of the Church, 1944 Morgan's critique of the manuscript of No Man Knows My History. "The research is wide and deep without being ostentatious; the prose is clean and on the whole admirably muscular; it is frequently full of stimulating ideas, and at all times it moves rapidly." His objection to the original manuscript was that it was a history of Joseph Smith's life, not a biography, but in the second draft, he says that defect has been effectively dealt with. He feels the chapters on Nauvoo need some reworking, particularly the material on John C. Bennett and on polygamy. A final analysis of Smith's character is missing from the book and Morgan encourages Brodie to make such an analysis by offering his own brief but sweeping impressions of the Smith personality. He warns her against generalizations that could leave her open to attack by opponents of the book. Letter on tithing and consecration, also some speculation on the relationships between Zina Huntington, Joseph Smith, and Brigham Young, 1945. Letter on consecration, 1945. Morgan has finished examining all the newspapers in the Library of Congress published before 1849 in the states of Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, and Iowa, and the result is that "there is hardly a phase of trans-Mississippi history for that period that I could not rewrite." (For a copy of Morgan's newspaper file see Boxes 44-48.) The work was extremely arduous, but necessary. "I think that newspapers represent probably the greatest source of untouched material yet awaiting researchers in Mormon history, so this particular job is my contribution to research in general . . . " The newspapers offer many bits of new information--from the origin of the term "Jack Mormon" to the earliest anti-Mormon pamphlet, 1947 Morgan has become interested in a new aspect of Mormon history- -the impact of Mormonism on the American religious press, 1830-1844.

Morgan outlines plans for a book on American society between 1800 and 1861 to be called This was America. This book he hopes will serve as a background study for his three-volume Mormon history. He asks for permission to use materials owned by the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints of which Burgess is historian. Morgan describes his background and his philosophical approach to Mormon history--"as a practical historian, one must take the standpoint that causes and effect proceed directly out of human behavior, that men's difficulties are occasioned by human inadequacy, not by any special favor or disfavor granted to individuals by 'God.' So my viewpoint about Mormon history is that of the sociologist, the psychologist, the political, economic, and social historian," 1943.	1940-1943

NewspapersReturn to Top

Contain reference notes and articles from newspapers contemporary with the early growth and development of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Dale Morgan copied articles about the church and its membership in connection with what was to have been his definitive history of the Mormon church. Most of the articles are anti-Mormon, although there are a few from Mormon publications. He copied some articles which pre-date the founding of the LDS church as examples of the religious upheaval and establishment of many new churches during the period. Some of the articles were gathered into volumes and arranged alphabetically by title and chronologically by date. That is, within one year, the newspapers are organized by title and each group of newspapers by month and day; the next year, the alphabetical sequence begins again. Portions of these volumes are original copies while others are carbons. These articles were given to McQuown for use in her research on Brigham Young.

Photocopies of some newspapers that contain articles about the Mormons and the church are included with the collection. These reproductions have been filed together in the folio case.
