The Mormon Church on Trial: Transcripts of the Reed Smoot Hearings

Smoot_2

I just did a short preview of this book for City Weekly.  I must say it is an excellent book that opened my eyes to the full extent of how the Reed Smoot hearings was such a pivotal moment in Mormon history.  I would highly recommend it to everyone.  This book is an abridgment of the transcripts with meticulous annotation.  In addition to this book I would recommend the historical analysis by Kathleen Flake in her book The Politics of Religious Identity: The Seating of Senator Reed Smoot, Mormon Apostle.
