Title: Interesting book for many reasons!
Review: Full of dramatic action, fascinating historical details, and outlandish claims against Mormons, this novella was first published in 1881 as an anti-polygamy tract by the well-known Utah activist Cornelia Paddock. Although most anti-polygamists were against the institution primarily for religious reasons, Paddock was equally, if not more, concerned about the rights of women. Paddock's didactic narrative is able to transcend its now outdated anti-polygamy, anti-Mormon morals and stand as an early work in the feminist tradition.In addition to being a classic example of anti-Mormon sentiment from the late nineteenth century, this book will enthrall students of Utah and Mormon history who will enjoy the small details which creep into the story.
