1859 MORMONS Fifteen Years Among Brigham Young Polygamy
1859 MORMONS Fifteen Years Among Brigham Young Polygamy Latter-Day Saints Utah
‘Fifteen Years among the Mormon’ is an 1859 novel by the sister of one of the Mormon high priests and long in the confidence of the "Prophet," Brigham Young. It is an interesting account of her experience among the Mormons during the founding years of Salt Lake City. Fifteen Years among the Mormons raises issues of credibility. Some of its allegations about Mormon leaders and religious practices would have been considered by many Americans of that time to be immoral, or criminal, or both.
Labeled by Mormons as lies or a hopeless mixture of fact and fiction, this book is still quoted occasionally by anti-Mormons. The narrative includes discussion of polygamy, theocracy and the suppression of women, her personal acquaintance and incidents with Brigham Young, and allegations of conspiracies to rob and murder.
