Excerpt from The Private Papers and Diary of Thomas Leiper Kane, a Friend of the MormonsNE of our great American traditions is the freedom of the frontier O and its part in the development of social and political democracy in the United States. It is often said that out on the western fringe of settlement one man was considered no better than another, that every one was equal before the law and in the opinion of his fellows until he gave proof of his worth or lack of ability. There was, however, at least one group of pioneers, the Mormons, whose story does not fit into this general picture. The peculiar social practices and religious beliefs to which they subscribed forced those people to wait many years before they were recognized as belonging to the American social body. In the meantime they had to endure persecution and were bufieted about from one place to another. The story of the trials and ultimate success of the Mormons, more correctly known as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints, is of special interest and significance for historical research.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
