Rocky Mountain Empire: The Latter-Day Saints Today

Introduction to Second Edition: Back in 1948, the readers of Collier's magazine were offered something brand new in popular literature. It was a six-part serial, The Mysterious Way, set in a rural Mormon community. That it was fiction made it unusual, because very few Mormon novels had been written. Also, it was about modern life, not about the pioneers. More, the story sprang from situations and characters relating to the Latter-day Saint culture. But what made it unique was that it ws funny. . . .

<p>When Samuel W. Taylor wasn't busy living, he was busy writing, sometimes for Disney (The Absent-Minded Professor), sometimes for his family (The John Taylor Papers), and often for the world about his own people, the Mormons (Nightfall on Nauvoo, Heaven Knows Why). Sam may well be the most successful Mormon author of all time; and over half a century spent spinning yarns, Sam's best story might be his own. His life story blossoms with rollicking tales of his Utah boyhood, his strong-willed mother, and his adventures as a writer making his way in the world. Taylor-Made Tales is fresh, funny, and like so many of Taylor's other works, a candid look at peculiar people.</p>
