Hickman's entire "Confessions" is available as a reprint from the Tanners. So, too, are Ann Eliza Webb Young's "Wife #19" and Fanny Stenhouse's book.
Here's one I always have a copy of around (and I understand there's a new biography of Baskin I need to buy next time I get a trip to Idaho):
http://www.signaturebooks.com/product/reminiscences-of-early-utah/Baskin, BTW, lay in an unmarked grave for nearly a century before he was finally honored with an appropriate marker a few years ago.
Hal Schindler's biography of Orrin Porter Rockwell is still the only factually honest piece about that "Destroying Angel." I would ignore the other suggestions on this link
https://www.amazon.com/Orrin-Porter-Rockwell-Man-Thunder/dp/087480440XOther names for likely Utah Danites are Jeter Clinton, Hosea Stout (as mentioned), and Daniel Wells.
As Will Bagley noted, "In Brigham Young's day, blood atonement was a horrifying reality."
LDS apologists insist Young used it only as a rhetorical device or claim it was only "practiced on Mormons."
Anyway, Tom, you've got my e-mail, and I'm buried for the next few months, but business should be healthy enough by spring I could "pick-up" a selection of some of the above (and anything else Sandra thinks is noteworthy) and ship them your way for my costs.
