More Amazing But True Mormon Stories

by Joan Oviatt

 

Review

Joan Oviatt has an amazing talent for telling historical tales in a tantalizing, interest-grabbing style that saves the identity of the main character to the very end. Readers everywhere loved Amazing But True Mormon Stories.

Now she's done it again! She's dug deep and researched effectively, assembling more than fifty new stories about significant but little-known events and people in Mormon history in this fun, highly readable volume: More Amazing But True Mormon Stories. She shares such varied topics as the first female mayor and town council west of the Mississippi; the rock-throwing cattle herders who dsicovered the world's largest open-pit mine; the fat woman who prevented a flood by sitting in the hole; the non-Mormon who save Nauvoo; the unloved wife who provided 200,000 bushels of wheat to starving Europe; the woman who saved Brigham Young's life with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation; the Maori prophet who foretold the coming of Mormon missionaries; the Mormon doctor whose ideals led to the carving of Mt. Rushmore; the Mormon choir that sang mass for Catholic services; the Mormon hero who became an ambassador for Croatiqa; the Mormon actress who inspired the movie "Somewhere in Time"; the Mormon boy who became one of the greatest inventors in history; the Mormon who created America's first shopping mall; the Mormon town that got evicted, and much, much more!
