Mormon Distilleries Reply to Captain Boyd by a Denver Man
A Denver writer questions Mormonism and polygamy in a long response to Captain Boyd. He critiques apologists, argues marriage is sacred, and cites a 1862 1869 Utah distillery tax era record listing many distilleries and closures, including Salt Lake City and Springville, showing early Gentile presence and regulated liquor production.
