January 27, to be held at the Civic Center, 50 South Main at 7 : 30 p.m. The meeting will be free of charge. The speaker will relate history of the State of Utah around 1857 which will include the Utah War, the Johnston's Army episode, and the Mountain Meadows Massacre, all subjects on which Mr. Nelson has done extensive research. Following his talk, Mr. Nelson will conduct a question and answer period. A master story teller, Mr. Nelson has parlayed this gift into a series of bestselling historical novels which treat the great western movement and the adventures of the Mormon pioneers in attention-holding narratives. A native of Logan, Utah, he moved to the San Francisco area as a youth, but returned many summers to work on his grandfather's farm in Davis county where he learned much western lore and had many experiences ex-periences of which he writes so convincingly. He holds a degree in English Literature and an MBA, both from Brigham Young University. He served as an LDS missionary to Germany. He has also been a corporate cor-porate speech writer and an ad agency copywriter specializing in sales presentations, radio commercials, com-mercials, and direct mail copy. At times, Lee Nelson's lifestyle is almost as colorful as those of whom he writes. According to his personal statement, he probably is the only man in modern times to kill a bull buffalo with a bow and arrow from the back of a galloping horse. He's often found digging through dusty journals, starting fires without matches, even chewing on raw buffalo meat in order to obtain first hand information, experience and authenticity to use in his historical-adventure-romance novels. He is currently working on a new Storm Testament which will be released this spring and also a contemporary novel which will be set in a European locale.

In a weekly feature in the Deseret News titled The Nelson-Rees Survey, Sur-vey, he joins with Clair Rees of Orem in expressing his opinion as opposed to Mr. Rees' on current subjects and invites readers to call in their feelings. The results are sent to the White House, the major T.V. networks, and 250 participating newspapers. This meeting, with Mr. Nelson's knowledge of the subjects and his gift of narration, should prove very interesting and informative, according ac-cording to D.
