He is the author of Political Deliverance: The Mormon Quest for Utah Statehood and San Bernardino: The Rise and Fall of a California Community.
"Fine history. Rich meat to chew on. Much top-notch history to
digest and enjoy here."--The Journal of Mormon History
"The book holds a wealth of information on early Mormon and early
Utah history."--New Mexico Historical Review
"Throws new light on many episodes of Mormon history. Leo Lyman is
not afraid to address difficult subjects, including documenting
events that show Brigham Young in a less than favorable light. This
notable book is worth the effort to read."--Utah Historical
Quarterly
"Until now...the apostle-turned-apostate has remained a peripheral
figure in much of Mormon historical literature. This new biography
aims to provide a definitive treatment of Amasa's life. Lyman's
book is likely to remain the most complete source on Amasa for
years to come. Includes enough material to engage anyone interested
in studying the early development of the Church through the
experiences of Amasa Mason Lyman, an enigmatic and fascinating
apostle."--Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought
