Notes: Black Rider battles prejudice when townspeople attack a wagon train of "Morman" (i.e., Church of Jesus Christ of Latter
Day Saints) settlers bound from Ohio to Utah. He opines that the townspeople "forgot all the teachings of the Bible,"
and tells them that "America wouldn't be the land of liberty without the different kinds of people, races, and religions
who came from all over the worlds to live in peace and democracy!"
