The book titled ''The Mormon Prophet and His Harem'' is an authentic historical account of Brigham Young, the leader of the Mormon Church, his multiple wives, and their children. The book is written by Mrs. C. V. Waite and provides a comprehensive insight into the life of Brigham Young and his relationship with his wives, who were referred to as his ''harem.'' The book delves into the controversial practice of polygamy, which was prevalent in the Mormon community in the 19th century. It also sheds light on the social and cultural norms of the time and the impact of polygamy on the lives of women and children. The book is a valuable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in understanding the history of the Mormon Church and the practice of polygamy.1868. From the Preface: No apology is offered for presenting to the public the only authentic account of Brigham Young, of his polygamous family, and of that complicated and incongruous system of social and political machinery, called Mormonism. The chief interest of the work, however, with a large class of readers, will doubtless consist in the information it contains, relative to the family and social relations of the celebrated Mormon leader. These, and all other facts contained in this volume, may be relied upon as true, and many of them are now published for the first time. The subject of polygamy is treated thoroughly, and as dispassionately as the writer’s utter abhorrence of the system will permit. A residence of two years in the midst of this state of society, could not fail to afford me a tolerably good view of its inside workings, and this view I have presented to my readers.
