the emigration of Swedish Mormons

George Peabody Gooch states in his book, History and Historians in the Nineteenth Century, that "anyone who feels a taste for history should study above all the history of his fatherland. It is not a duty cut an instinct of the human heart." Being of Swedish ancestry and having lived in Sweden for some time, the writer developed an interest in the people of Sweden. These incidents, plus many others, enticed the writer to examine the twentieth century emigration of Swedish Mormons to Utah.
