Description
When it was organized in 1934, the New York Stake, 110th in the LDS Church, was a stunning departure. More than 2,000 miles from Salt Lake City, the stake was so far away that it took several days of travel to reach it. Never before had a stake been organized so far away.The 70-year-long history of the New York Stake, and the 163-year-long Mormon presence in New York City are brought to light in this important local history.
