I suggest it be replaced with Mark Twain's chapters on Brigham Young and Mormonism from "Roughing It." Since he was actually in Utah around that time, I'm sure he painted a much more accurate picture than the modern church leaders do. Far funnier, too.

Thanks for introducing me to Twain's "Roughing It."

Here is the citation of which you speak (write? type?)

So a man who makes his living being a satirist is more objective and accurate? He didn't have a profit motive at all to sell his books did he? He in no way could have stretched the truth just a tad in the name of humor could he?

I love Mark Twain's writings. I will add this book to my to read list. I consider him a pretty dang good novelist.... But that doesn't mean he is an expert on the Mormon faith.
