Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Fate Madame La Tour: A Tale of Great Salt Lake The story of Madame La Tour is strange enough for thrilling fiction; but the facts underlying it cannot die, and the intense public interest in Mormonism, by reason of its appearance in Congress, makes this picture of the sources of that strange alien element, in the midst of a republic professedly Christian and civilized, well worth reading by the millions who have been recently startled into a new attention to the "problem" which still seems to exist. Within eighteen years much has happened in Utah. Outward forms have changed. How about the interior spirit? In March, 1882, Congress passed the Edmunds Law, which disfranchised, removed from office, and otherwise punished polygamists, provided for legitimatizing the children of polygamous marriages born before January 1, 1883, and put the elections under control of a commission of five members - one of whom was Hon. A. S. Paddock, a Territorial Secretary and ex-United States Senator from Nebraska, and a long-time Gentile resident of Utah, whose wife wrote this book. In 1887 Congress greatly restricted suffrage in Utah, and confiscated much property, both real and personal, of the Mormon Church. On October 6, 1890, after more than a thousand polygamists had served terms in the penitentiary, the Mormon Church issued a manifesto, discountenancing polygamy, and calling on its adherents to obey the laws of the United States.
