# Soldiers and Kings

Soldiers and Kings: Survival and Hope in the World of Human Smuggling is a 2024 book by Jason De León, published by Viking Press. It won the 2024 National Book Award for Nonfiction.

## Contents and background

De León, a professor of anthropology at the University of California, Los Angeles and also the founder of the Undocumented Migration Project, conducted ethnographic research across Mexico for seven years to learn more about and speak with smugglers who moved migrants through the country, specifically in a post-Programa Frontera Sur landscape. Among other locations, De León's investigation happened in Chiapas, on the border of Guatemala, where many smugglers operate in order to move migrants along the dangerous, treacherous path from Honduras to the United States.

## Critical reception

In a starred review, Publishers Weekly lauded the strength of De León's researched, empirical account of the smuggler trade, specifically pointing out his "fluid storytelling", the book's "gut-wrenching finish", and De León's critique at the lack of empathy received for his work by academia. Also in a starred review, Kirkus Reviews called the book "An exemplary ethnography of central importance to any discussion of immigration policy or reform." In a third starred review, Library Journal stated that "De León vividly depicts how both groups are part and parcel of a dangerous global industry in pursuit of greater economic opportunity."
Jennifer Szalai, for the New York Times, lauded De León for the nuance and transparency he showed to the reality of immigration, as well as his skillful synthesis of oral history resulting from his ethnographic research. Szalai in particular highlighted the candidness of De León's testimonies: "his subjects start to trust him and begin to reveal themselves—no small feat, considering that suspicion and mistrust are a matter of professional (and physical) survival."
Christian Century called the book "a haunting and humane portrait of those surviving amid harsh immigration policies that have exacerbated the precarity of migrant life." The reviewer considered it a logical sequel to De León's previous book, The Land of Open Graves: Living and Dying on the Migrant Trail, which interrogates how American policies regarding immigration causes undue death and suffering to immigrants in the Southwestern United States. The reviewer concluded: "The stories of the guides made me cry at their immense suffering, laugh at their playful jokes, rage at the injustice they face, and feel inspired by their will to survive." Time called the book one of the 100 must-reads of 2024, stating "Soldiers and Kings seeks to buck the dangerous stereotypes that are often associated with migrants and smugglers, and instead, shows their fully nuanced stories."

## Plot

Banners proclaim "Greenpoint's Proudest Day! - Mammoth Celebration Dedicating Our New Sewer System", featuring the Kidmobile Race with a first prize of five dollars. Our Gang's hopes to win the race are nearly dashed when town bully Butch (Tommy Bond) arranges for the gang's pet dog Whiskers to be picked up by the dog pound. But instead of demoralizing the gang, the impoundment of Whiskers merely gives them a stronger reason to win the race and claim the prize, with which they will pay the dog's license fee. There is no shortage of dirty tricks on the part of Butch and his henchman Woim (Sidney Kibrick), who try everything to wreck the Gang's chances and their homemade "auto."

# Elias Higbee

Elias Higbee (October 23, 1795 – June 8, 1843) was an associate of Joseph Smith, a prominent Danite, and an official historian and recorder in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

## Biography

Born in Galloway Township, New Jersey, to Isaac Higbee and Sophia Somers, Higbee joined the Latter Day Saint church in 1832 in Ohio. He and his family joined the gathering of Latter Day Saints in Kirtland, Ohio, later that year. In 1833 the Higbees and other Latter Day Saints attempted to settle in Jackson County, Missouri, but were forced to return to Kirtland in 1835. They again tried to settle in Missouri in 1836, this time in Clay County. While in Missouri, Higbee was a Caldwell County judge and a leading officer of the county militia. He also served missions in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. Eventually, the events of the 1838 Mormon War again forced the Higbees to leave Missouri and by 1839 they had settled with the majority of Latter-Day Saints in Commerce, Illinois, which would later be renamed Nauvoo.
In 1838, Higbee became the official historian of the church, and in 1840 he became the church's recorder. In 1839 and 1840, Higbee traveled with Joseph Smith to Washington, D.C., to submit a petition for redress to U.S. President Martin Van Buren. On October 8, 1840, Higbee was appointed by Smith to the committee charged with organizing the construction of the Nauvoo Temple.
Higbee unexpectedly died of cholera on June 8, 1843, in Nauvoo. After his death, Smith stated that Higbee "will again come forth and strike hands with the faithful, and share the glory of the kingdom of God for ever and ever." He was married to Sarah Ward and was the father of twelve children.

## Higbee's questions in the Doctrine and Covenants

In the Doctrine and Covenants, part of the scriptural canon of several denominations of the Latter Day Saint movement, answers to several questions about the meaning of the Book of Isaiah posed by Higbee to Joseph Smith are reproduced and have been canonized:
   Questions by Elias Higbee: What is meant by the command in Isaiah, 52d chapter, 1st verse, which saith: Put on thy strength, O Zion—and what people had Isaiah reference to? [Answer:] He had reference to those whom God should call in the last days, who should hold the power of priesthood to bring again Zion, and the redemption of Israel; and to put on her strength is to put on the authority of the priesthood, which she, Zion, has a right to by lineage; also to return to that power which she had lost. What are we to understand by Zion loosing herself from the bands of her neck; 2d verse? We are to understand that the scattered remnants are exhorted to return to the Lord from whence they have fallen; which if they do, the promise of the Lord is that he will speak to them, or give them revelation. See the 6th, 7th, and 8th verses. The bands of her neck are the curses of God upon her, or the remnants of Israel in their scattered condition among the Gentiles.

# Mendota, Washington

Mendota is an extinct town in Lewis County, in the U.S. state of Washington. The community began as a mining town, growing to included a post office, hotel, and school in the early 20th century.
A destructive fire in 1926 closed mining operations and the town began to wane. A lone ranch remained by the 1950s. Attempts to reinvigorate coal mining in the region did not materialize and by the early 1970s, buildings were in disrepair and the townsite had begun to be lost to encroaching plants and wildlife. No buildings were standing by 1979.

## History

The community was built after the creation of the Centralia Eastern rail line, which terminated at the site. The town was first known as Packwood, after William Packwood, who built a homestead and farm in the area in 1883. The community took its name from the Mendota Coal and Coke Company who began operations in the area after leasing 9,000 acres (3,600 ha) from the landholdings of Western Railway and Lumber Company. A depot was built and the community was formed by 1907; a post office called Mendota was established in 1909, which remained in operation until 1923. Mendota was a dry town, and as it grew, contained a three-story hotel and a mixed-use church and school building.
Mendota peaked with a total of approximately 60 homes in the town and 200 employees of the coal company. A large, underground fire in 1926 shut down the plant and by the 1950s, Mendota was considered a former community, and the area supported a lone sheep ranch. Despite renewed hope of reviving Mendota after findings of additional coal beds in 1951, the community became a ghost town and was a site for the placement of a Pacific Power & Light steam-powered plant in 1969.
By 1972, Mendota was described as containing ruins, with homes and buildings falling down though the school structure remained. Flourishing flora and fauna had already begun to take over the site, though some roads were still accessible. No structures were reported standing by 1979.

## Geography

Mendota was located around Packwood Creek near Kopiah, Washington, northeast of Centralia.
