The Joseph Lafayette Rawlins papers (1885-1964) contain materials collected by Rawlins’ daughter, Alta R. Jensen, in preparation for her publication of The Unfavored Few: The Autobiography of Joseph L. Rawlins. Joseph L. Rawlins (1850-1926) was dedicated to making Utah a state, and fought to change political situation that were objectionable to people outside the Utah Territory. His efforts were eventually introduced before the House of Representatives in a statehood bill.
