The mid-20th Century was an active time for centennial committees in Utah. Manti’s group was commissioned by the local stake presidency to write the book which was unfortunately delayed until 1950. The editor, Ellis Edgar Johnson, was the grandson of Joseph Washington Johnson—his well-known siblings included two plural wives of Joseph Smith as well as close friend Benjamin F. Johnson. Condition: Very good. Item #25553
