running down about 2/3 of the spine length. The corners are rubbed through at
the bottom exposing the pasteboard underneath. The top corners are slightly
bumped and somewhat rubbed. A tight, sound text block and binding. These are
truly significant historical volumes. The time period that these were published
saw the Mormon pioneers leaving Nauvoo and arriving in the valley of the Great
Salt Lake. The letters, dispatches, and news reports from the various parts of
the Mormon trek make these volumes excellent primary source material. There is
also an excellent amount of historical information on missionary work and the
growth of the church in England at the time. Capably edited by Orson Spencer,
these early Millennial Star volumes are a wonderful documentation of early LDS
Church history. $1250.00
