Excerpt from Reminiscences of Early UtahThe glaringly false statements in Whitney's History of Utah respecting the nature and effect of certain occurrences which have in great part gone to make up the history of the State, together with his malignment of the motives of myself and other Gentiles who in the past Opposed the peculiar theocratic and anti-american system established and maintained in Utah while it was a Terri tory by the high priesthood of the Mormon church, are the reasons for the writing of these Reminiscences of my connection with the conflict waged for many years between Mormons and Gentiles. I can vouch for the accuracy of the statements of the facts here given, but whether my observations of the significance of these facts are warranted, the unbiased reader himself must judge.After a careful scrutiny of Whitney's history, I deemed it due the men, many of whom were federal officials and few of whom are yet living, and who have been so wantonly besmirched by him, to correct, at least, some of his erroneous assertions and covert insinuations.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
