Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of Utah, Vol. 3 of 4: Comprising Preliminary Chapters on the Previous History of Her Founders, Accounts of Early Spanish and American Explorations in the Rocky Mountain Region, the Advent of the Mormon Pioneers
This book brings up the general narrative to a point several mon ths in advance of the time when that narrative began; covering a period of history from the death of Utah's founder to the issuance of the famous Manifesto suspending the practice of plural mar riage. Necessarily the principal theme treated in these pages is The Crusade; as the movement by the Federal Government, under the Edmunds Act and the edmunds-tucker Law, for the sup pression of polygamy in the Territories, is commonly called. How those laws came to be enacted, and how they were executed in Utah, Idaho and Arizona, is herein set forth, with all the important events incident to or clustering round that stirring epoch which has affected so materially the fortunes of our inter-mountain commonwealth.
