Juanita Brooks: Mormon Woman Historian by Levi Peterson
This is a fabulous and important book. Brooks is up there with Laurel Thatcher ulrich in my pantheon of heroes: Mormon women who persued their academic interests while raising their families. Her story is fascinating and her work on the Mountain Meadows Massacre is of lasting importance. This book had just a little flab that could have been trimmed, but is still highly recommended.
