Book Excerpt: 
. . .Yes,” sighed Marian, “for love; but, as time proved, far more than half the love was on her side—unless it may be that love may turn to that which is little better than hatred.”

“Ah, was it so bad as that?” Elsie asked with a grieved look into the sad eyes of her young relative. “If so, one cannot blame you if you have well-nigh ceased to love one so heartless as he has shown himself to be.”

[41]

“Jesus said, ‘By their fruits ye shall know them,’ and such are the fruits of Mormonism,” returned Marian; “the fruits brought forth in the lives of those who follow its hellish teachings. Is that too hard a word, cousin? It teaches lying, polygamy, assassination—their unscriptural, horrible blood-atonement doctrine—not one of which is to be found anywhere in God’s own holy word. Oh, I thank the Lord that I have escaped out of their hands!”

This book was given as a prize to my great-great aunt (the woman my mother was named after) in 1899. All the family books have ended up with me, so I'm slowly reading through them. This was not an enjoyabke read, so preachy and goody-goody. So much intolerance excused through religion.

Still as preachy, but not as much of a history book as the previous few. Lots of ventriloquism going on in this book. The family is intermarrying again. Everyone is still very goody-goody. So not too much has changed.
