About the Book
"Under the Prophet in Utah" is a historic paintings authored by using Frank J. Cannon and Harvey Jerrold O'Higgins. This book offers a completely unique and vital attitude at the religious and social landscape of Utah in the course of the late 19th and early twentieth centuries. Frank J. Cannon, a former United States Senator from Utah, and Harvey Jerrold O'Higgins offer an insider's view of the country's complex non-secular and political dynamics, with a selected recognition at the impact of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) and its chief on the time, Joseph F. Smith. The book discusses the theocratic control exercised by way of the LDS Church over Utah and its residents, losing light at the demanding situations faced via non-Mormon citizens, normally called "Gentiles," who frequently skilled discrimination and disenfranchisement. It delves into problems together with polygamy, economic dominance, and theocratic rule. "Under the Prophet in Utah" is terrific for its candid and occasionally debatable portrayal of Mormonism and its leaders. The authors recount their personal studies and interactions with outstanding figures within the LDS Church, imparting a firsthand account of the complexities and controversies surrounding the Church's practices and its effect on the broader network.
Frank Jenne Cannon (January 25, 1859 – July 25, 1933) was Utah's first US Senator, serving from 1896 until 1899. Cannon was the eldest child of Sarah Jenne Cannon and George Q. Cannon and was born in Salt Lake City. His father was an apostle and afterwards a member of the First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Frank Cannon attended Salt Lake City High School before attending the University of Deseret, where he graduated at the age of 19. In 1878, he married Martha Brown of Ogden. Harvey Jerrold O'Higgins (November 14, 1876 – February 28, 1929) was a novelist and journalist of Canadian origin. In 1876, he was born in London, Ontario. From 1893 to 1897, he attended the University of Toronto but did not graduate. He began his career as a journalist in Toronto, but quickly relocated to the United States after his detective stories were published in American periodicals. He also contributed to political and sociological publications. He then began writing longer works of fiction and began working on social issues with various specialists as collaborators, including Ben B. Lindsey (The Beast and The Doughboy's Religion), Harriet Ford (On the Hiring Line), Frank J. Cannon (Under the Prophet in Utah), and Edward H. Reade (psychoanalysis of prominent figures).
