Utah and the Mormons: The History, Government, Doctrines, Customs, and Prospects of the Latter-Day Saints. From Personal Observation During a Six Months' Residence at Great Salt Lake City (Hardcover)

Written at a time when the Mormon Church was still little-understood and often reviled, this groundbreaking work by Benjamin G. Ferris offers a comprehensive and vivid account of the history, culture, and religious practices of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Drawing on his own experiences living among the Mormons in Utah, Ferris provides a detailed and nuanced portrait of a people who were then, as now, a vital and dynamic force in American society.
