Dime Novel Mormons
Author: Michael Austin
Publisher: Greg Kofford Books, Incorporated
ISBN: 9781589585171
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"Dime novels probably did more than any other kind of book to turn lower- and middle-class Americans into both book owners and book readers. It's hard to tell just how many of these dime novels featured Mormons, but the dime-novel sterotypes of Mormons worked their way into much of the more-respectable literature of the day and influenced the way American culture has interacted with Mormonism ever since. For this volume, four full-length dime novels have been chosen to represent different aspects of the Mormon image in dime novels... The often lurid and scandalous portrayals of Mormons in these dime novels haed consequences for the relationship between Mormons and the rest of the United States. They would represent reality for millions of people, and the basic portrayals found their way into more serious literature. Understanding how these stereotypes were created and first employed can help us understand many things about the way Mormonism has always functioned in American culture."--Back cover.

Brigham Young
Author: Leonard J. Arrington
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0345803213
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 562
Book Description
Brigham Young comes to life in this superlative biography that presents him as a Mormon leader, a business genius, a family man, a political organizer, and a pioneer of the West. Drawing on a vast range of sources, including documents, personal diaries, and private correspondence, Leonard J. Arrington brings Young to life as a towering yet fully human figure, the remarkable captain of his people and his church for thirty years, who combined piety and the pursuit of power to leave an indelible stamp on Mormon society and the culture of the Western frontier. From polygamy to the Mountain Meadows Massacre to the attempted preservation of Young’s Great Basin Kingdom, we are given a fresh understanding of the controversies that plagued Young in his contentious relations with the federal government. Brigham Young draws its subject out of the marginal place in history to which the conventional wisdom has assigned him, and sets him squarely in the American mainstream, a figure of abiding influence in our society to this day.
