Jennifer Graham writes: "After weeks of increasing pressure to drop out of the 2024 campaign, President Joe Biden finally put a stop to the rumors, leaks and chatter with a seven-paragraph statement that showed a resolve and dignity that has been missing in his recent interviews — and political discourse writ large. "Biden as hero, as some have described him for ceding to the Democratic Party’s pleas that he exit the race, is not the right description. But the statement that finally ended the matter was certainly commendable — from the understated stationery, which read simply 'Joseph R. Biden Jr.,' to the message it conveyed, free of partisanship and rancor. "The statement, in other words, was presidential, remarkably so because of the pain that we all know lies under the stoic words." Read more about lessons of Joe Biden's withdrawal.

| Lee Benson writes: "One hundred and seventy-seven years ago on July 22, Brigham Young and what is known as the Vanguard Company of pioneers from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints camped in a clearing a few miles above the canyon they named, for obvious reasons, Emigration. "Young, who was sick with Rocky Mountain spotted fever, an illness caused by burrowing ticks, directed Orson Pratt to handpick seven men to go with him to scout the place the canyon emptied into. "Among them was a 38-year-old Pennsylvanian named Mathew Ivory. "... On a grassy spot where Emigration and Parleys creeks came near each other, they set up their camp. "Exactly what Mathew Ivory used for a tent that night is a detail lost to history. But it was shelter. "One hundred and seventy-seven years later, Ellis Reed Ivory smiles at the memory. "'It’s what I like to call the first Ivory home in Utah,' he says." Read more about Mathew and Ellis Ivory. |
