Language of the Mormon Pioneers
This book is an amazing mix of definitions and historical facts that allows readers to seemingly step into life in the 1800s. Every page holds interesting information from 19th century documents. Each source has been carefully researched. What is a breechy cow, a churl or a dolly peg? What did it mean to cozen, to swan or to rive?These words, like hundreds of others in this book, were common in the mid-1800s. for anyone with an interest in how our pioneer ancestors spoke and wrote, or just have an interest in LDS history, this book is a must. Each unusual word is presented in an entertaining way that will please readers of all ages. for example: Coot-n. (Colloq.) a common or stupid fellow. Like most weekly papers in the early nineteenth century, the Saints' Evening and Morning Star carried a great deal of filler items from papers throughout the country. In 1832, it carried such a typical item on page 31: It seems that, at the Union celebration of the 4th of July, in Bishopsville, S.C. the coots poisoned the victuals which sickened all that eat, and one died. So step into history, and gain some interesting and revealing insights. Even stump your friends!
Brigham Young
Brigham Young was a rough-hewn New York craftsman whose impoverished life was electrified by the Mormon faith. Turner provides a fully realized portrait of this spiritual prophet, viewed by followers as a protector and by opponents as a heretic. His pioneering faith made a deep imprint on tens of thousands of lives in the American Mountain West.

Remarkable Stories from the Lives of Latter-Day Saint Women
Valiant women have always been a true source of strength throughout the history of the LDS Church. Their testimonies of the restored gospel, combined with acts of faith and devotion, have produced many miracles. While many of those experiences have been lost to history, many others were recorded for future generations to read, ponder, and apply in their own lives. Noted author and scholar Leon R. Hartshorn first published these stories in the early 1970s as a two-volume set. He has recently re-evaluated each story and has carefully selected the most outstanding stories for this volume. In this collection you will read about testimony-strengthening events, small miracles and heavenly assistance, both as the LDS Church was being established and also in recent times. This compilation will create admiration and appreciation by readers for the service and sacrifices given by the faithful women throughout Church history. It is also a wonderful reference tool for Family Home Evening or Church lessons.
