"History also shows that Lincoln checked out a copy of the Book of Mormon from a library on Nov. 18, 1861, and kept it for eight months. He had also checked out three other books on Mormons, though they were all unfavorable to the church."
"Lincoln was also well-aware of Utah's great natural resources and once referred to the state as 'the treasurehouse of the nation'. When Lincoln needed help to protect the telegraph line in Utah, he contacted President Young, not the territorial governor, for assistance."
