Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Letter to the Secretary of the Interior on the Affairs of Utah, Polygamy, "Cohabitation," &C
Much more might be said upon this subject, but from the above you will learn our views sufficiently to form an idea of our position. We cannot surrender our principles, nor yield our religious convictions; but shall contend for our rights as American citizens inch by inch as long as God will give us strength and ability to do so. We shall do this, not for ourselves alone, but for humanity, that the principles of civil and religious liberty may be fully maintained on this great American Continent.
