Salt Lake City: Deseret News, 1884, 1884, 1885. Wraps. Flake-Draper 5549b. 3616, 4619, 10109. Mormonism Unveiled (No. 2) - Part of a series of five pamphlets (the other four bearing the title Mormonism Exposed) written by different authors-this text was originally printed in the Chicago Times. Despite the ominous sounding titles, the pamphlets were actually printed by the Deseret News. Feeling that the writer had "conscientiously endeavored to view the subject in its proper light and then tell truth, so far as his comprehension of the subject," the editor felt that "we can therefore heartily recommend this pamphlet, notwithstanding a few inaccuracies, to the Saints as well as to the world." Among other topics, the author argued against Mormon stereotypes by analyzing criminal statistics and showing that Mormons constituted a majority of population but a minority of arrests.
Mormonism Exposed (No. 4) - The fourth in the above-mentioned series printed by the Deseret News-text copied from the Boston Index. Kimball apparently visited Salt Lake City and discussed Mormon stereotypes with various religious officials living there. The bulk of the pamphlet is composed of these opinions along with similar thoughts published in newspapers throughout the country.
Mormonism Exposed (No. 5) - The fifth and final installment of the pamphlets printed by the Deseret News. It seems very likely that the author of this pamphlet is Richard Whitehead Young (1858-1919), a grandson of Brigham Young. The only information given about the author in the pamphlet is "of New York." The supposed author graduated from Columbia Law School and was then admitted to the bar in New York. Condition: Fine.
