S&M, the issue is not that "Mormon history is unpleasant", the issue is that we don't KNOW if Mormon history includes cold-blooded community-based murders, as this book entails. There's evidence on either side, and in a literary introduction to Sherlock Holmes, teaching the historical controversy is likely to eclipse the literary material.
