This second edition of Unflinching Courage is a brief history of the community of Joseph City, Arizona, a small settlement on the Little Colorado River in northern Arizona. It was settled in 1876 by a small group of determined and hardy pioneers under the direction of Brigham Young, President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The original edition was published in 1963 by Adele B. Westover and J. Morris Richards to honor these original unflinching pioneers. In addition to recording the brave beginnings and the growth of Joseph City, biographies, family genealogies, and photos for each of the original settlers, along with their children and grandchildren are included. This second edition features 665 families, with more than 100 additional families who were not included in the original publication. Births, marriages and deaths that have taken place since 1963 have also been added. This volume is a valuable resource to all who trace their family roots back to these stalwart settlers of a bitterly hostile environment, as well as all who enjoy learning about the expansion of the American west.
