Humor on the Pioneer Trail
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH -- A senior librarian at the LDS Church's history
library, Melvin L. Bashmore, has collected humorous tales from pioneer
diaries over his 26-year career with the library. He has shared those tales
with many during the past few years after he put together a collection of
the stories titled, "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Utah: Laughable
Incidences on the Mormon Trail," for which he received an award for merit
from the Utah Humanities Council last year.
