* Mormons - Mormonism

The front page has a one column head: "Utah and the Mormons".
The article is over a full column in length and provides great details of the life-styles of Mormon life, including the pros and cons of polygamy; how some of the wives get along and others do not; a polygamist that needs to do all of his own cooking, cleaning, washing and even sleeps on the floor because his wives don't get along.
Also mentioned is a description of Brigham Young which notes in part: "... Brigham is the favorite speaker, though he does not preach more than once a month. His sermons which I heard were very incoherent and illiterate...".
Four pages, slightly irregular at the spine from disbinding, very nice condition.
