Hardcover. Condizione: Good. Dust jacket condition: No Jacket. First edition. Solid retired library book with usual library markings; else VG. Text free of underlining, writing and highlighting. From the Foreword: To MOST PEOPLE the Mormons are still the dark side of the moon. Yet for a century and a quarter now they have been a standard curiosity both at home and abroad. Today a Mormon girl is crowned Miss America, a Mormon apostle named to the President's cabinet, and the great Tabernacle Choir from Salt Lake City wins the applause of Europe in an unprecedented tour. But news about the Mormons was at one time more sensational and on occasion the country's chief diversion. Even before polygamy appeared on the scene to give the Republicans of 1856 a cause and a slogan, Mormon calamities in Missouri and Illinois reached the ears of Congress and, through the newspapers, enlisted the sympathies of the nation. The Mormon flight to the Rocky Mountains in the wake of manifest destiny had important consequences for western history, and kept the Mormons thereafter constantly in the wind. Their notoriety won them an attention in the press, European as well as American, out of all proportion to their numbers. The "Letter from Great Salt Lake City" became a familiar feature in The New York Times, which through the years frequently editorialized on "The Mormon Question" or "The Situation in Utah." Every major magazine in the United States and in England, where Mormon proselyting was most successful, sooner or later published articles on the Mormons--from Dickens's gossipy All the fear Round to the staid Edinburgh Review. Though they often abandoned discussion for diatribe, these articles reflected an interest in Mormon affairs that never flagged. The Saturday Evening Post and Holiday carry on the tradition in our own time, while the learned journals have discovered in Mormonism a ripe field for scholarship. Most popular in the monthlies were the reports of visitors to Mormon country, Stanleys back from darkest Africa. Readers of Putnam's in 1855, for example, could turn the page from Irving's "Life of Washington" or Longfellow's "Song of Hiawatha" to Mrs. B. G. Ferris's serialized "Life among the Mormons" and thrill at her descriptions of Zion as a "Botany Bay of society." As a book, her letters were advertised the next year in the end pages of Frederick Law Olmsted's A Journey in the Seaboard Slave States, symbolic of the way the country divided its attention between.

Prima edizione Copia autografata
Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Condizione sovraccoperta: very good minus. First edition. SIGNED. 482pp. Octavo [24 cm] Forest green cloth covered boards with a decorative gilt stamped title on the spine. In a price-clipped dust jacket, with mild rubbing, numerous light stains, and periodic small open edge tears. The largest open tear is along the top edge of the front panel, measuring just under 1 x 1". There is also an old price sticker on the front inside flap. Inscribed by A. R. Mortensen to the California historian, John W. Caughey, on the front free endpaper. His bookplate is on the front pastedown. From the Editor's Foreword- "Travelers' tales fed an imagination hungry to hear dime-novel adventures, and did much to produce the popular image of the Mormons at worst degraded, at best as God-fearing and industrious but deluded fanatics. Curious observers sought them out early. Hardly a travel book about America after 1830 failed to mention them.".
