Faith and Betrayal: A Pioneer Woman's Passage in the American West

Vintage, 2006

Facinating and informative
I was totally captivated with the life of this lady who left her wealthy & comfortable home in England to join up with the Mormon's. That is after they paint a rosy picture of their "Promised Land in Utah Territory". But they certainly failed to mention a few minor things that would take place. I was raised a Mormon and left it over 35 years ago to become a Bible believing Christian. I was ...

A Few Words about Ralph Ross
For those needing a bit more closure than listed previously, after the events listed in this book, Ralph Ross moved to Lawrenceburg, KY and settled into a job as a PI. I had many chances to meet him in my teenage years after reading about him at his favorite location, the now closed Anderson Grill. He truly was a great man and seemed to enjoy helping people. I recall when I learned of his ...

Amazing! Reads like a novel.
This book was gripping. It is the best historical book I have read. It reads like a novel. Denton's ability to provide a historical account, introduce many characters and events and keep the reader engrossed in the story is remarkable. As a person who loves to read about strong women in history, I loved reading about this strong alliance between husband and wife.

Don't be Led Astray by Other Reviewers
When reading the reviews of this book, it is clear that those who were raised in the Mormon faith are blinded by their own prejudices and the dogma they learned from the LDS Church on the Mountain Meadows Massacre. Denton's investigation into this atrocity is impressive, and her retelling of the massacre is excellent. Don't be dissuaded from reading the book by those who seek an end to the ...

A Woman's Perspective on Pioneering, Risk, and Religion
This is a beautifully written and well researched book about the pioneering experience from a woman's perspective. Laura Ingalls Wilder gave us all a gift there, but not as much from an intellectual or an adult point of view. Even more, this is a fascinating insight into the early Mormon church and how it started, recruited members, and moved around the country, before settling in Salt Lake ...

truth sets free
Read this book. Truth does set free. Seems 'conspiratorial' .. but the 'ring' of truth is there throughout .. if one has ears to listen for it.
