The book features chapters by faculty members in the Department of Church History and Doctrine discussing Salt Lake's place in our sacred story. Topics include histories of significate landmarks (the Salt Lake Temple, the Tabernacle, Ensign Peak, the Salt Lake City Cemetery, the Church Administration Building, and the Salt Lake Theater) and stories from the city's past (federal interactions with Fort Douglas and connections between the city and the Book of Mormon). Because Salt Lake is the world headquarters of the Church, the book also contains organizational histories of Music and the Spoken Word, Church correlation, family history, and LDS Family Services. The reader will see connections between the revelations of Joseph Smith and Salt Lake City as a modern city of Zion - the place, indeed, where the Saints have been blessed.
