The author describes the portrayal of Mormons in mainstream media/film in the 19th-20th centuries, covering films like Wagon Master (John Ford, 1950) and Brigham Young, Frontiersman (Henry Hathaway, 1940). While the films are not accurate, they came at a time of great persecution and the portrayals were mild and tolerant of Mormons.
