Kane (1822-1883), a crusader for antislavery, women's rights, and the downtrodden, rose to prominence in his day as the most ardent and persuasive defender of Mormons' religious liberty. Though not a Mormon, Kane sought to defend the much-reviled group from the "Holy War" waged against them by evangelical America. His courageous personal intervention averted a potentially catastrophic bloody conflict between federal troops and Mormon settlers in the now nearly forgotten Utah War of 1857-58. Drawing on extensive, newly available archives, this book is the first to tell the full story of Kane's extraordinary life. The book illuminates his powerful Philadelphia family, his personal life and eccentricities, his reform achievements, his place in Mormon history, and his career as a Civil War general. Further, the book revises previous understandings of nineteenth-century reform, showing how Kane and likeminded others fused Democratic Party ideology, anti-evangelicalism, and romanticism. 410 0$aLamar series in western history. 606 $aMormons$zWest (U.S.)$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aMormon pioneers$zUtah$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aMormon Church$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aSocial reformers$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aAbolitionists$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aSoldiers$zUnited States$vBiography 607 $aUtah$xHistory$y19th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMormons$xHistory 615 0$aMormon pioneers$xHistory 615 0$aMormon Church$xHistory 615 0$aSocial reformers 615 0$aAbolitionists 615 0$aSoldiers 676 $a979.2/02092 700 $aGrow$b Matthew J$01037246 712 02$aCharles Redd Center for Western Studies. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455065703321 996 $a"Liberty to the downtrodden"$92458081 997 $aUNINA
