Poison
After
associating with Mormon brethren in the mining camps and elsewhere for much of
a year, Elder [Amasa] Lyman wrote Brigham Young that “to strike hands with a
man having the Spirit of God is a rare treat in California,” meaning that there
were but few, in his judgment, who had maintained their full commitment to the
faith after coming into contact with what he termed “the poison of gold.”
