In this exiting and readable autobiography, one of the most colorful figures of the American frontier recounts his poverty-stricken childhood, his rowdy adolescence in Rocky Mountain mining camps, his unsuccessful bid for the U. S. Congress and his stormy career in one of the leading councils of the Mormon church. Polygamy, women?s suffrage, prohibition, and separation of church and state all occupy center stage in the unfolding drama of Brigham Henry Roberts?s controversial life. Roberts?s story-book adventures made him a household name during his lifetime. His impassioned speeches incited riots, his reasoned writings defined and codified religious beliefs, and his candid disclosures of Utah history brought him both respect and censure. His best remembered today as a largely self-educated intellectual. Several of his landmark published works are still in print more than sixty years after his death. His life story, told here in his own works and now published for the first time, is revealing and honest and may well stand as his greatest, most enduring achievement.
