Every kind. The horrible mountain lion kind that stalk you in the hills. And the so-called domesticated city-dwelling kind that poop all over your yard. Worst, worst, worst. So, I'm happy to read that Father Brigham would come in and comfort the rightly distraught Susa. But what is up with that part about him "at last [coming] to the door and quietly [opening] it"? "At last"? "Quietly opening it"?? I mean, I would've expected the Lion of the Lord to come bursting through the door! And with a gun drawn (or at least a cane or a letter opener)! Cats are the worst.

Parshall Wed, 16 Jul 2008 19:50:35 +0000 http://www.keepapitchinin.org/?p=131#comment-1688 Thanks, Jami /blushes/ -- There's a book I'm planning to review that I wish you would look at, as long as I'm tempting you towards Brigham Young. Chad Orton has writen 40 short (5-6 pages) essays about different ways to look at Brigham Young -- as a religious figure, a colonizer, a businessman, a father, a despot, a polygamist, etc. Really fun and informative, even for somebody like me who thought I knew Brigham Young pretty well.

Parshall Wed, 16 Jul 2008 16:51:43 +0000 http://www.keepapitchinin.org/?p=131#comment-1676 I've just had a fun conversation with one of the LDS archivists who is *the* expert on downtown SLC LDS buildings. He read the original Susa Young Gates story last night, which has many details I didn't include about the arrangement of furniture in the room and some distinctive architectural clues, and says that the room where Oscar fought the mountain lion is the reception room of The Pantry, that first room you enter when going to the restaurant, where you line up to get your tray and tableware. (Today's entrance door was a window then, since cut down to make the door.) So when Amira takes her boys for cookies, they can know they're right in the room where it happened.
