Colonel Thomas L. Kane and the Mormons, 1846-1883
For nearly four decades, Thomas L. Kane, although not a particularly religious man himself, honorably defended the Mormons on the national stage and remained a confident of Brigham Young throughout his life. This richly illustrated volume examines Kane and his relationship with the Mormons from social, political, and religious angles.

"Liberty to the Downtrodden"
Thomas L. Kane (18221883), a crusader for antislavery, womens 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 185758. Drawing on extensive, newly available archives, this book is the first to tell the full story of Kanes 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.
