English explorer and author Richard Burton (1821-90) traveled across the United States in 1860. His City of the Saints and Across the Rocky Mountains to California (1861) was the most complete and knowledgable account written on the Mormons and Utah for several decades. The book was unique because of its favorable and sympathetic description of the Mormons and their institutions and its hundreds of pages of erudition.
