Amasa Mason Lyman, Mormon Apostle and Apostate: A Study in Dedication
"Until now...the apostle-turned-apostate has remained a peripheral figure in  much of Mormon historical literature. This new biography aims to provide a  definitive treatment of Amasa's life. Lyman's book is likely to remain the most  complete source on Amasa for years to come. Includes enough material to engage  anyone interested in studying the early development of the Church through the  experiences of Amasa Mason Lyman, an enigmatic and fascinating  apostle."—Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought "Throws new light on many episodes of Mormon history. Leo Lyman is not afraid  to address difficult subjects, including documenting events that show Brigham  Young in a less than favorable light. This notable book is worth the effort to  read."—Utah Historical Quarterly "The book holds a wealth of information on early Mormon and early Utah  history."—New Mexico Historical Review "Fine history. Rich meat to chew on. Much top-notch history to digest and  enjoy here."—The Journal of Mormon History
