Life and Times of John Pierce Hawley: A Mormon Ulysses of the American Westnarrates the wide-ranging life and times of John P. Hawley's search for and service to an authentic Mormon faith. Melvin C. Johnson has been researching Hawley's adventurous life along the American borderlands and frontier for three decades. Hawley was an active member of several Latter Day Restoration denominations in Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Wisconsin, Texas, the Indian Nations of Oklahoma, and Utah Territory from 1838 to 1909.

A Mormon Ulysses follows Hawley's adventures in the West growing up as a logger, woodworker, settler, church official and missionary. He helped build the first Mormon temple west of the Mississippi, battled the Comanches, was entangled in the horrors of the Mountain Meadows Massacre, and pioneered the Pine Valley community in southern Utah. Hawley's western odyssey is timely, worthy, and deserves to belong in the canon of American history and biography.
