“I think I’ll read “Under the Banner of Heaven” again. Great read,
and it’s been a while.”

Other than hearing a books-on-tape about “the Mormon Murders”
(the antiquities scandal that got deadly), I’ve only read the book
below on the history of Mormonism.

It’s extensively footnoted and I suspect a fair review of the movement.

And no, I ain’t bashing our FR Mormons. I’m open to voting for Mitt
on the Nov. 2008 ballot as he sure beats anything the Dems will have
on their ticket!

Thanks, it looks good.

I read several books a long way back. I’ve also read, “No Man Knows My History,” by Fawn Brodie, and “Mama, Mormonism, and Me.” Can’t think of the author — I read the book, then loaned it out. You know how that goes ;)

And if you would like to read the other side, you can go here. One Nation Under Gods. This article also contains information that shows Sandra Tanner's explanations.
