"In the decades before the Civil War, St. Louis was considered by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to be the most Mormon friendly city outside Salt Lake City. Thomas Farmer and Fred Woods examine the ways Mormons used St. Louis as a way station to earn money and replenish resources, while at the same time contributing to its growth." [Publisher]
