Anti-Mormon Novels in the Internet Archive


Lately I've been reading The Viper on the Hearth, Terryl L. Givens' fascinating study of nineteenth-century anti-Mormon fiction. I thought it might be helpful to come up with a list of the digitized anti-Mormon novels  available on the Internet Archive, a good go-to place for nineteenth-century Mormonalia.

Here are the books I found:  

Belisle, Orvilla S.
---. The Prophets: Or, Mormonism Unveiled (1855)
---. In the Grip of the Mormons (ca. 1919) [This seems to be a reprint of The Prophets]

Bell, Alfreda Eva.
---. Boadicea, the Mormon Wife (1855)

Benoit, Pierre.
---. Salt Lake; A Novel (1922) [Translation from French]

Clark, Charles Heber.
