Abstract

Utah: Apocalypse of the Desert
King, Murray E. | June 28, 1922 issue

add to cart   close window

A sight of the Mormon conference crowd in Salt Lake City, Utah every April and October should dispel impressions of the Mormons that have grown out of stories of polygamous escapades, Danites, and Avenging Angels. It is Mormon Utah assembled. From a tenth to an eighth of the State's half million inhabitants gather semi-annually at the call of the church for a general spiritual refilling. The multitude on the Tabernacle grounds looks much like any predominantly rural crowd anywhere between Duluth and Dallas.
