Heart Throbs of the West Heart Throbs of the West: Volume 2 Mining in the West The Coke Ovens of Wyoming

The coke ovens at Piedmont, Wyoming, were built in 1877, by Moses Byrne, five being constructed at a cost of fifteen hundred dollars. Quaking aspen and pine logs were hauled by ox teams to the ovens where they were burned into charcoal. The Union Pacific Railroad Company used the coke as fuel for the passenger cars.

An Enduring Legacy An Enduring Legacy: Volume Eleven Dup Camps in States Other Than Utah (Part One) Piedmont, Uinta County, Wyoming

The Charles Guilds joined the Byrnes in 1866. Mrs. Byrne and Mrs. Guild were sisters. As the transcontinental railroad moved into western Wyoming, a wood and water station was needed, and it was found that a spot approximately five miles west of the Muddy station was ideal, being situated in the direct line of the track. Moses Byrne was asked to run the station. It was thought at first that they would call it Byrne, but it was later decided that the name might be confusing, since there was a station called Bryan west of Green River. Mrs. Byrne and Mrs. Guild had come from Torino, Piemonte, Italy. The word piedmont means "valley or plain at the foot of a mountain," which fit this area at the base of the Aspen Mountain perfectly, and so that name was chosen for the station.

Piedmont, a typical tent camp for the railroad, probably at this time knew its greatest population; yet there is evidence of only approximately twenty homes. The tent town served as a base camp for the graders who were constructing a roadbed up the steep side of the mountain to the summit called Aspen Station.

The route for the railroad had many sharp curves, including a full horseshoe bend. By 1868, the railroad crew arrived to lay track on the prepared roadbed. It was soon realized that helper engines would be needed on the eight-mile grade. Wells that were dug provided plentiful water. Sidings, an engine shed, and a water tank were constructed, and Piedmont became a wood and water refueling station for helper engines.

Piedmont was in Shoshone territory, but only two incidents of serious trouble occurred. One happened when the Byrnes were still at the station on the Muddy. A small hunting party of Sioux rode in and kidnapped the Byrnes' two-year-old son, Ed, who was out playing. Chief Washakie heard of this, and one summer, two years later, he rode in with the child, now four years old. He never would tell how or where he got the child. When Mrs. Byrne had another boy after this incident they named him Washakie.

The other Indian incident in Piedmont happened much later. The Indians had traded at the store owned by Charles Guild. One night they went to the Guild home looking for fire-water. They said they would burn the place down if they didn't get some. Charles was away at the time, and while Mrs. Guild pretended to be looking for what they demanded, she sent her son James to the Byrne home for help. The men arrived and no harm was done.

When Chief Washakie heard of this, he came to Mrs. Guild to get the names of the offenders. She knew who they were, but wouldn't tell, for she knew of the punishment the Indians would receive. To repay the Guilds for their trouble, Chief Washakie had his squaw make a pair of beaded slippers for Mr. Guild and a purse for Mrs. Guild.

The logging industry, as a commercial venture, became well established in Piedmont. Moses Byrne constructed four charcoal kilns. Charcoal, the hottest fuel known at that time, was shipped to Utah and Colorado.

Men were needed to run the helper engines, so more families moved in. There were also homesteaders arriving at that time. The Guilds opened a mercantile establishment, and the town boasted four saloons. Piedmont became a business center and contributed to the rich lore of the West.

On May 5, 1869, the Central Pacific crossed Promontory Point in Utah and stopped just a few feet short of the Union Pacific tracks. The north side of the rails were joined, but those on the south side were left for the driving of the golden spike. On May 7, Promontory was overflowing with discharged workers; tent saloons were stocked, and the women arrived. A special train from Sacramento had arrived with all the dignitaries of the Central Pacific Railroad.

Things weren't going quite so well on the Union Pacific train. In Piedmont, there were three hundred graders and tie cutters who had been discharged but not paid. The story was circulated that the financing of the railroad had collapsed and that, upon completion of the railroad, the Union Pacific would receive a government subsidy. This would bankrupt the grading and tie contractors.

They enlisted the aid of a telegrapher to let them know of the arrival of the special train in Piedmont. There the train met an obstacle of ties on the track, and by the time the ties were cleared off, the special car carrying the financial wizard and the Union Pacific vice president was side railed, leaving the rest of the train to go on. A telegram was finally sent by the detained men that resulted in two hundred thousand dollars being sent to give the workers their back pay. Another telegraph was sent to Promontory with the message that the dignitaries would not arrive there until May 10. When the money arrived at Piedmont, the train car was re-coupled and sent on its way. The golden spike was driven on Monday, May 10, 1869,

It is reported that a Salt Lake banker sent a telegram to Fort Bridger for troops to go into Piedmont, but a telegrapher took the message off and no troopers were sent.

Robert Fulton, a telegrapher in Rawlins, Wyoming, in 1869, established the date of the hijacking as being May 7. Some historians disagree on the date, but in any case newspaper accounts of the holdup brought temporary fame to Piedmont.

About 1910, the Union Pacific Railroad began digging the Aspen tunnel through Aspen mountain. The completion of the tunnel—approximately one and one-half miles long—resulted in the elimination of the steep, winding grade from Piedmont to Aspen Station. The railroad was rerouted from LeRoy to the tunnel, missing Piedmont by several miles. Piedmont was stranded, and its demise began.

One of the Pony Express stations that served southwestern Wyoming was twelve miles west of Fort Bridger on the Big Muddy River. The station was built and run by Moses Byrne. The Pony Express ran from April 3, 1860, to October 24, 1861, when it went bankrupt at the coming of the telegraph. The station on the Muddy then became an overland stage station. View full context

In 1940, lack of business forced the closing of the old Guild Mercantile Store. Since then, most of the buildings have been hauled away. All that remains are three or four tumbledown remnants of homes, some foundations, the coal dump where the engine shed once stood, the charcoal kilns of Moses Byrne, and the cemeteries. —Dorothea E.

Smout, Thomas Thomas and John Hudman were elected trustees. A new school house was built on or near the ground now occupied by the present schoolhouse. This house served for all public purposes untill it was distroyed by fire in June 1871. Early in the Spring Morris found several converts to his views, which sub sequently culminated in claims as a prophet. He and his followers founded a settlement in the southern part of the county which was designated Morristown. Among those who joined him were, James Cowan, Sen., and son William Bull, Peter McCue, Moses Burns, William Harris, William Jones, Andrew Lee and one McGee. At the March term of court Slaterville was Organized into a school district, and Edwin W. Smout, Thomas Thomas, and John Hudman were appointed trustees. They erected a school house at a cost of $950.

THE MORRISITES

On 13 June 1862 a five-hundred-man posse positioned itself on the bluffs south of Kingston Fort in Weber County. Cannons ready to fire sat on two small ridges overlooking an estimated five hundred disciples of Joseph Morris who were housed within a makeshift enclosure. The Morrisite War, a short but unfortunate episode in Utah history, was about to begin. Participants on both sides, especially the two leaders, must have reflected on those events that had precipitated what was to be a violent confrontation.

Joseph Morris, prophet and leader of the Morrisites, was born in 1817 and joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints when he was twenty-three years old while he was living in England. He married Mary Thorpe and brought her to America, where they resided in St. Louis for two years. Moving to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Joseph became the local Mormon congregation's branch president. Morris and his family immigrated to Utah in 1853 and resided for a time in Sanpete County, subsequently moving to Provo, and then Slaterville, before settling in the small community of South Weber.

He claimed to have received numerous spiritual manifestations, but it was in 1857 before he recorded his first official revelation. This revelation established Morris's prophetic calling, placing him at odds with the leadership of the Mormon Church, designated him as the seventh angel of the apocalypse, outlined ten steps to godhood, explained the doctrine of reincarnation, and proclaimed the "immediate" second coming of Christ. Morris also taught that Brigham Young was a fallen prophet and that no more Mormon missionaries should be sent into the world.

Gathering a few followers in Slaterville, Morris moved to South Weber, where he converted Mormon bishop Richard Cook. About two hundred former LDS Church members subsequently became disciples of Morris. In February 1861 Morris, Cook, and fifteen others were excommunicated from the Mormon Church by apostles John Taylor and Wilford Woodruff. On 6 April 1861 Joseph Morris organized a new church, headquartered in South Weber, and issued a proclamation that all of his followers should gather at Kingston Fort. Firmly believing that "Christ will come tomorrow," they held all things in common and, according to some authorities, even trampled some of their crops into the ground as evidence of their faith.

Because of their expectation of Christ's immediate return, the Morrisites were largely a consumer community; thus, by the spring of 1862, food was scarce. Latter-day Saints were counseled by their leaders to have no dealings with the Morrisites, which meant that the residents of Kingston Fort had to travel to Kaysville to have their wheat ground into flour. They aroused the wrath of Davis County Sheriff Lot Smith when his attempt to levy a tax was met by armed men and he was ordered out of the for

When William Jones, one of Morris's first converts, became dissatisfied and attempted to leave the community and take with him what was left of his consecrated property, he was detained along with two other men who possessed similar feelings. However, within a few days the three escaped with a yoke of cattle and a wagon. Pursued and captured, they were placed under guard in a small log cabin. When word reached Chief Justice of the Third District Court John F. Kenney that Joseph Morris was holding prisoners in violation of the law, he issued a writ of habeas corpus commanding that the prisoners be set free.

The Morrisites refused to receive the writ, insisting that they were no longer subject to the law. Robert T. Burton, deputy marshal, with a posse of about two hundred men (other soldiers were added in Davis and Weber counties as the posse moved north) was sent to capture Joseph Morris and other church leaders and bring them to Salt Lake City to stand trial.

Meanwhile, Morris had received additional revelations indicating that Christ would come and deliver his followers just a few days after a spectacular pageant called "The Foreshadowing of the Kingdom of God Day," which was scheduled for 30 May 1862. Therefore Joseph Morris saw the appearance of the army in the middle of June as a certain sign that the time of the Second Coming was imminent. Upon arriving at the fort, Robert Burton instructed a Morrisite herdboy to deliver a message to his leader requesting their surrender. After growing weary of the Morrisites' delay in responding to his demands, Burton ordered two warning shots to be fired to speed up the decision. The second ball struck the plowed ground in front of the settlement and ricocheted into the fort itself, killing and maiming as it went.

Joseph Morris immediately received a revelation of comfort and reassurance while some Morrisites returned the fire, killing Jared Smith of the posse. On the third day of the siege, as the Morrisites were in the process of surrendering, hostilities again broke out and Joseph Morris, his counselor John Banks, and a few others were killed. The rest, seeing their leaders dead, surrendered. The prisoners, numbering about ninety, were taken to Salt Lake City to stand trial before Judge Kenney. They were then placed under bond to appear at the next session of court. In March 1863 seven of the Morrisites were convicted of murder in the second degree, sixty-six were convicted of resistance, and two were acquitted. However, the new territorial governor, Stephen S. Hardy, pardoned all of them, and the Morrisites scattered into Idaho, California, Nevada, Montana, and other places to begin their lives anew. Seven years later, in the midst of an upsurge of anti-Mormonism, Robert T. Burton was tried for the murder of Mrs. Isabella Bowman, one of two Morrisite women killed during the surrender proceedings, but was acquitted. The Morrisite war was officially over.
