The names of the following frequently cited repositories are abbreviated in citations: Church History Library, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Salt Lake City (CHL); Family History Library, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Salt Lake City (FHL); L. Tom Perry Special Collections, Harold B. Lee Library, Brigham Young University, Provo (BYU); and Special Collections and Archives, J. Willard Marriott Library, University of Utah, Salt Lake City (UU). Chapter numbers, rather than chapter titles or page numbers, are used in internal cross-references.
