Description
Excerpt from Polygamy, or the Mysteries and Crimes of Mormonism: Being a Full and Authentic History of Polygamy and the Mormon Sect From Its Origin to the Present Time
To sum up, then, I consider that there are two reasons for the interest taken in Mormonism: it is purely a native American imposture, and it adopts the Asiatic system of marriage. Aside from these and its theocratic and despotic government, it would, as a religion merely, be beneath contempt. Scattered among other sects it could not hold its own a decade; its perpetuation in the far west was the accident of an accident. Mormonism is now living on its organization all the vitality died out of it years ago, and if govern ment will but give the organization a thorough shaking up, there is nothing in the church as it now is to resist disintegration.
