I thought
it would be fun to have a simple
blog in the Deseret Alphabet. The first entry is first in the Latin
script, followed by the same words in Deseret. Go back to
www.zybtser.com/deseret to access
the blog entries.

There were
3 primers that were used in "Deseret" (Utah territory) to teach the
alphabet to children and those adults who were trying to learn English,
or who just wished to learn the alphabet. I am placing on the internet
an ebook (.epub) of the 1st Deseret primer book (minus illustrations).
There are 3 versions in the ebook: Each lesson in Deseret followed by
Latin script, all lessons in Deseret only, and all lessons in Latin
script only.You can download the ebook here.
