The Millenarian World of Early Mormonism
*Underwood, Grant, University of Illinois Press, Urbana, IL.
Book description: This book provides the most detailed study yet of early Mormon thought about the “end of times.” Underwood shows how Mormonism from 1830-1846 was profoundly influenced by its views of an imminent second coming of Christ and millennial transformation of the earth. In particular, the book explores the ways in which early LDS interpretation of the Bible and the Book of Mormon affected, and was affected by, Mormon millennial doctrines. The book represents, the first comprehensive linkage of the history of early Mormonism and millennial thought, areas in which, before now, “cross-pollination had been occasional at best.” Buy it now!

The Mormon Presence in Canada
Card, Brigham Y., Herbert C. Northcott, John E. Foster, Howard Palmer, and George K. Jarvis, (ed) Utah State University Press, Logan, UT.
Book description: Beginning in the 1830s, the ebb and flow of Mormon migrations back and forth across the Canadian border have reflected changes in attitudes, in opportunities, and in the self-identity of the group. Though there are still relatively few Canadian Mormons, their numbers have more than tripled during the last four decades, a time when most religious denominations in Canada have declined. Mormons have had considerable influence in the development of Alberta and of Canada as a whole, from the early introduction of large-scale irrigation to the growing participation of Mormons in Canadian economic and governmental spheres.
