Defending Zion : George Q. Cannon and the California Mormon Newspaper Wars of 1856-1857 (Kingdom in the West: the Mormons and the American Frontier Series)

Mormon newspaper publisher Cannon used his Western Standard to conduct a vivid defense of the Church of the Latter Day Saints in the debates that were conducted in the pages of newspapers in the 1800s. Ekins (English, Butte College, California) collects these writings along with Cannon's correspondence with such figures as Brigham Young, John Taylor, and Daniel H. Wells. He includes contextual discussion throughout the presentation of the documents. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
