Query: Loved the cover, not the book

I purchased this book to give to a friend who is not LDS but very interested in the westward movement of the LDS pioneers. I thought this would be an objective and unbiased book of interesting facts and personal accounts, but I found it VERY biased against the LDS members, especially their leaders. I believe Mr. Stegner wrote his historical accounts in an era when it was popular for historians to find fault in the leaders of movements, ie, religious groups, publishing as much negative material--fact or hearsay--as possible. I found this book a pity to read and wished that Mr. Stegner were still alive so that I could post him a note and tell him so. Of course, I did not give this book to my friend.
