With permission of David R. Gunderson, we include the following book to our blog. I will do a few increments at a time, as I have done with the Andrew Madsen and James Monsen histories. I will also paste the pages over to David's own blog page: http://davidrgunderson.blogspot.com/
This book will be of interest to not only the Gunderson Family but also to the Brotherson, Ericksen, Peel, Madsen, Larsen and more.
Those of you interested in the Deseret Alphabet may also be interested in checking out my Stanford University Master's Thesis, available at the BYU library and at the Church Archives. "Of Two Minds: Language Reform and Millennialism in the Deseret Alphabet." It traces the rise and fall of the reform, and reveals the role of the search for restoration of "Pure Adamic" language at the time of the alphabet's creation.
