The Kings of the Kingdom : The Life of Thomas Rice King and His Family
-
Orem, Utah
-
L.R. King

"This history of Thomas Rice and Matilda King and their family is about common and ordinary people. People who lived life, built homes, raised families, and sacrificed their lives for a higher purpose. They were people who lived the American dream and fought for the right to enjoy their religious liberty. While they enjoyed a close personal relationship with several Church leaders, such as President Brigham Young and Apostles Amasa and Francis Lyman, they were never really admitted into the closer inner circles of Church dominion and administration. They came out of obscurity, and in their lifetimes became respected community and Church leaders at the local level. Now their names are remembered only by a handful of immediate family members, and a small southern Utah community still bears the name of Kingston. " [From inside cover]
