LETTERS TO MOLLIE FROM HER MORMON PAST: 1860-1912 has 111 letters written from Iowa, Missouri, and Illinois mostly by young members of the newly established RLDS (some of them, Union soldiers). They were writing to the niece of Brigham Young, Miriam "Mollie" Works, whose namesake was Miriam Works Young, Brigham's first wife. Though she was never Mormon, orphaned Mollie received letters from her RLDS relatives and friends who lived in Iowa, north central Missouri (Eagleville) and Illinois. See and read excerpts of the book-- including a list of names and complete index -- at www.millcreek-press.com. Hardbound book with gold inscripted title available from Mill Creek Press, P.O. Box 9801, Springfield, IL 62791.
