Details
Fact, Fiction, and Polygamy rescues from 150 years of neglect an exciting true tale of international intrigue. It tells of the travails of Henriette Polydore, a young Anglo-Italian girl spirited out of an English Catholic convent school, in 1854 and bundled across the Atlantic, the Great Plains, and the Rocky Mountains by her Mormon-convert mother and aunt to live in Salt Lake City under an alias in the polygamous household of a Latter-day Saint leader with five wives and twenty children.
Midway through Henrietta's secret sojourn in the City of the Saints, she was caught up in the Utah War of 1857-1858, President Buchanan's attempt to suppress a perceived Mormon rebellion with nearly one-third of the U.S. Army.
Hard cover.
