The Latter-Day Saint Century

Sprinkled with interesting, little-known facts about the LDS church as it transitioned from the first generation of leadership in the nineteenth century into the next one hundred years that made up the twentieth century. By integrating the larger canvas of American socio-economic development as a backdrop, the author overlays and then highlights LDS history with pithy stories, pictures and sidebars of the actions and reactions of church leadership to the ever changing political landscape. It also helps clarify the development of various Mormon doctrines including stances on polygamy, tithing, welfare and missionary work.
