The Private Papers and Diary of Thomas Leiper Kane, a Friend of the Mormons (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from The Private Papers and Diary of Thomas Leiper Kane, a Friend of the Mormons NE of our great American traditions is the freedom of the frontier O and its part in the development of social and political democracy in the United States. It is often said that out on the western fringe of settlement one man was considered no better than another, that every one was equal before the law and in the opinion of his fellows until he gave proof of his worth or lack of ability.

"Liberty to the Downtrodden"
Thomas L. 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.
