Title: Bigoted fairy tale as history
Review: This book is typical of the anti-Mormon rags that have been produced for over 100 years.Deputy U. S. Marshal Orrin Porter Rockwell is depicted as a murderous fanatic and "Destroying Angel" with such hyperbole and unfounded exaggeration that historians laugh and look upon the author with a mixture of disdain and pity.If you want to read a legitimate, well documented and footnoted biography of colorful Western lawman, rancher, and devout Christian, Orrin Porter Rockwell, see Dewey's "Porter Rockwell, A Biography."However, if you are an anti-Mormon bigot, love lurid yellow journalism and don't want historical facts and accounts to get in the way of your prejudices and preconceived notions, then read this book, if you can still find one. Most have been discarded as a waste of print and paper by the academic community.
