Imporant and a good read. Scholarship never sounded so good!

Hosea Stout was, of course, a big VIP in the early days of the LDS Church. His diaries have proven to be of great import to scholars because of his important positions and copious and daily record. Especially noteworthy may be his entries during his time spent in the Utah legislature--for some time as the speaker. But most interestingly to me (being a student of literature more than history), is the pathos he expresses in the moments of tragedy--so common in the terrible years of Mormon persecutions.
I paid $85 dollars for my copy and consider it a fantastic deal. They're worth whatever you may find them for. Consider them recommended.

On the Mormon Frontier
By L. Larkin
The book is wonderful and came in good time and in good shape but it was a bit misrepresented by the seller - the seller did not indicate that it was only book 1 of 2 volumes.
