20 cm] are in three groups. Two of

discussion of White selling his half of the claim since he was not working it. The second manuscript group

of leaves [9 leaves] consists of notes on ranches and other properties in the area in the 1880s with

descriptions, including the Owl Creek claim. These would appear to be for a legal case.

Mormon Prophet’s F.B.I. File

12- [Federal Bureau of

Investigation]. Ezra Taft

Benson's F.B.I. File. Salt

Lake City: The Smith-

Pettit Foundation, 2008.

First Edition. [260pp]

Quarto [28 cm] Black

cloth with the title gilt on

the backstrip. Fine.

The print run for this

work was 100 copies.

The F.B.I. officially

opened a file on Ezra Taft

Benson on November 24,

1952, at Benson's

request, following his

nomination as U.S.

Secretary of Agriculture

under newly elected U.S.

President Dwight D.

Eisenhower. In addition

to information gathered

in connections with

Benson's national federal

appointment, his file also

contains letters to F.B.I

Director J. Edgar Hoover

dating from 1944 and

1947, as well as

additional documents

dating from the 1950s,

1960s, and as late as 1989. While much - but not all - of this material is generally routine in nature, it

does function to document Benson's interaction with the Bureau and its agents, particularly with Hoover,

as well as Benson's political beliefs and activities, including his association with the John Birch Society

and its founder, Robert Welch. This work reproduces the files released by the F.B.I. after a Freedom of

Information request in 2007.
