Amy Tanner Thiriot’s long-awaited new book, Slavery in Zion, arrived in my mailbox yesterday. The research here is nothing short of exhaustive. I meant every word of my blurb for the book:
“Slavery in Zion is the most thorough and exhaustive treatment to date of the lives of Black Utahns in the nineteenth century. It should serve as an indispensable starting point for other researchers to explore all sorts of potentially fascinating and important topics." #histodons #slavery #utahhistory
