Publisher's Synopsis
1911. Cannon, formerly the United States Senator from Utah and Harvey J. O'Higgins tell the story of the establishment of an absolute throne and dynasty by one American citizen over a half-million others-that of the amazing reign of Joseph F. Smith, the Mormon Prophet, a religious fanatic of bitter mind, who claims he was divinely ordained to exercise the awful authority of God on earth over all the affairs of all mankind, and who plays the anointed despot in Utah and the surrounding states as cruelly as a Sultan and more securely than any Czar.
