Excerpt from A Detective's Experience Among the Mormons or Polygamist Mormons: How They Live and the Land They Live InThe supremacy of the Mormon Church means the enslavement of men, the degradation of women, and the utter destruction of the home circle. Our churches, schools and firesides are menaced by this overshadowing evil. Broken hearted mothers, neglected children, and the most cruel social desolation are the necessary results of the Mormon creed, as not only taught but commanded by John Taylor, the Twelve Apostles, Bishops, Deacons and Elders Of this so-called church. Polygamy not only degrades to the level of the beasts of the field, but it pol lutes whole communities, taints the young mind, breeds infamy and ridicules virtue. Many are not aware that in scores Of towns, villages and hamlets in the Territories already mentioned this state Of affairs exists. The foregoing picture is not overwrought, it is naked, unwholesome truth and if the naked facts, with no desire to paint in darker colors or set down aught in malice, are found as interesting to others as they have proved to me, then their mission shall have been accomplished. So without further preamble we will proceed.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
