Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is the report by Utah's Governor Eli Murray to the President of the United States, covering events from 1883-1885. This report is an essential primary source document for understanding American history during this era, presenting an intimate look at the implementation of polygamy and other laws in the Utah Territory. The author was an active participant in the events he recounts, being in charge of enforcing national laws in a territory that had an adversarial relationship with the federal government. The report goes into great detail about the conflicts between those who desired to live according to the laws of the United States, and those who wished to continue the outlawed practice of polygamy. The author gives a detailed view of the cases that came before his court, including the trials of some prominent Mormon leaders. He shows that prosecution was difficult because Mormon juries often refused to convict fellow members of their community. The report explores the struggle to establish a balance between religious and civil law, and the difficulties in enforcing laws that many of the inhabitants did not agree with. The author's goal was to establish a republican form of government in Utah, but he found widespread resistance among the Mormon population, who saw these laws as an attack on their religion and culture.
