1869 — Salt Lake City Directory & Business Guide For 1869 — (Includes Brigham Young!)

$1,750.00

The Salt Lake City Directory and Business Guide for 1869. Compiled and arranged by E. L. Sloan. Published by E L. Sloan & Co., Salt Lake City, Utah, 1869. 219 pages. Packed with names and addresses and wonderful old advertisements.
First free end sheet is mostly torn out; the fold out in front of the title page is mostly gone (about 3/4 of a page left). Binding is torn all the way down the spine on one hinge. Covers are faded. Text is pretty good; we photographed the cover, the title page, the starting page of the actual directory, and the page with Brigham Young’s address (he would not pass away for another 8 years!)
Before the actual directory there are sections on the following:
  • Sketch of Mormonism
  • Chronological Events of Utah
  • Territory of Utah
  • Federal Officers
  • Territorial Officers
  • Member of the Eighteenth Legislative Assembly, etc…
  • Salt Lake City
