Description - Salt Lake City by Veronica Doubleday

This book is part of a series which examines the role of the world's major religions in the development of some of the world's greatest cities. The books explore each city through those features which make up its unique identity and character. This book examines the historical and religious significance of this unique settlement from its miraculous growth out of barren desert to its present position as the headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - commonly known as the Mormon church. The development of Salt Lake City is an interesting chapter in the history of the American West. Found in 1847, the city's special character as a religious centre is described throughout its impressive temple and tabernacle and the legends, festivals and ceremonies that relate to the Mormon church.
