| 520 | _a"The City of the Saints, and Across the Rocky Mountains to California" by Richard F. Burton is a travelogue written in the mid-19th century. The book chronicles Burton's experiences and observations as he journeys to Great Salt Lake City and explores the broader regions of the American West, particularly the new cultural and spiritual implications surrounding the Mormon settlements. Through his firsthand narrative, Burton aims to provide insights into the characters, geography, and complexities of the society he encounters. The opening of the narrative sets the stage for Burton's adventurous spirit and keen observations. He expresses a desire to visit Great Salt Lake City while reflecting on the routes taken and the rich, yet challenging terrain of the American West. Burton's reflections touch upon the tumultuous political climate of the time, including conflicts with indigenous people and the perceptions surrounding Mormon society. He articulates the dual motivations for his journey: a genuine interest in observing the evolution of a new civilization and the more thrilling impulses of encountering potential danger along the way, including skirmishes with native tribes and the wild landscapes of the frontier.
