I just finished rereading Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s, “A Study In Scarlet”. It was forty years since I first read Sherlock Holmes. It mentions the Mormon Avenging Angels. Conan Doyle clearly didn’t like them.

It's true that Doyle's first Sherlock Holmes story cast the mormons as the villains. However, years later he changed his mind, saying he had been misinformed, and even spoke once at the Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake City.

This is not an apologia for mormonism, merely a historical fact.

Hi, If i may join your conversation.
I wish I could remember where, a bunch of years ago i read of a western novel where the heroin had to jump out of the window of the Salt Lake temple into the great salt lake. Then she swam out to a passing freighter and cought a ride back to England.

Just more of the accuracy in print about Mormons.
