His parents had been excommunicated from the Mormon Church for practicing plural marriage, a doctrine which had been discontinued by the church in 1890. Verlan attended school in Colonia Juarez where he graduated from the Juarez Stake Academy. He later attended the Brigham Young University. Though he had been a member of the Mormon Church, he was excommunicated when he followed her father's belief in plural marriage by taking a second wife. Friendly and fun-loving, he possessed an unusual ability for making and maintaining friends, as well as earning their respect, despite differences in belief. To Verlan a stranger was just a friend that he had not yet met. ; 6.25" x 9.25"; 316 pages.
