Salt Lake City, UT: Crabtree Press, 1982. First printing. Paperback. Very Good. 202pp. Octavo [21 cm] Light orange and black printed wraps. From the Preface- "In summary, Mormon Church leaders and the Great Salt Lake Valley residents were both acquainted with and dependent upon a scheduled and reliable postal service. The Church's intentional isolation in the far western Rocky Mountains brought a momentary security and seclusion, but it also immediately magnified Mormon dependence upon a very long and difficult interchange of communications between their Zion and the rest of the world.
