letters and notes, two mounted
cabinet cards and a hand-drawn
map.
39 manuscript pages: Pages [32 cm x
20 cm] are in three groups. Two of
the groups [32 pages] are hand-

Creek claim, and career miner Felix
Chapellet, Chapellet owned the
other half of the Owl Creek claim

Eye and the Wolverine Tunnels. The
letters concern the operation and
progress of the Owl Creek claim,
tunnels built, lumber for all of
Chapellet’s various claims, and
discussion of White selling his half of the claim since he was not working it. The second manuscript group
of leaves [9 leaves] consists of notes on ranches and other properties in the area in the 1880s with
descriptions, including the Owl Creek claim. These would appear to be for a legal case.

Mormon Prophet’s F.B.I. File
12- [Federal Bureau of
Investigation]. Ezra Taft
Benson's F.B.I. File. Salt
Lake City: The Smith-
Pettit Foundation, 2008.
First Edition. [260pp]
Quarto [28 cm] Black
cloth with the title gilt on
the backstrip. Fine.
The print run for this
work was 100 copies.
The F.B.I. officially
opened a file on Ezra Taft
Benson on November 24,
1952, at Benson's
request, following his
nomination as U.S.
Secretary of Agriculture
under newly elected U.S.
President Dwight D.
Eisenhower. In addition
to information gathered
in connections with
Benson's national federal
appointment, his file also
contains letters to F.B.I
Director J. Edgar Hoover
dating from 1944 and
1947, as well as
additional documents
dating from the 1950s,
1960s, and as late as 1989. While much - but not all - of this material is generally routine in nature, it
does function to document Benson's interaction with the Bureau and its agents, particularly with Hoover,
as well as Benson's political beliefs and activities, including his association with the John Birch Society
and its founder, Robert Welch. This work reproduces the files released by the F.B.I. after a Freedom of
Information request in 2007.
