The Mormon Country: A Summer with the Latter-Day Saints (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Mormon Country: A Summer With the "Latter-Day Saints"

Ogden on Saturday, so that they may branch off and spend Sunday at Salt Lake City, take a drive of an hour or two there, go to the Tabernacle meeting, see Brigham Young's house, if not Brigham himself, peep into some dwelling where a man is supposed to have more than one wife, and return in time to take the Sunday evening train for the West. They buy a big book written by Mr. Stenhouse, a small book by Mrs. Stenhouse, and the Life of Bill Hickman, the Destroying Angel, and, having read up thoroughly, fill the cavities of their minds with details from these to supply what they did not learn from their extended visit of half a day. Thus they become perfectly ia formed as to the character and social status of the Mormon people.
