Parley Pratt's 1874 book "The Autobiography of Parley Parker Pratt" covers his 1851-1852 mission to Chile. Teachings of race relations in the Book of Mormon are discussed, as well as Pratt's personal racial views of the peoples of the American Southwest and Chile. Pratt referred to these peoples as "Chilanoes" during his mission. Lastly, Pratt's views on Indian removal in U.S. policy are considered.
