In the wake of Joseph Smith Jrs murder in 1844 his following splintered and some allied themselves with a maverick Mormon apostle Lyman Wight Sometimes called the Wild Ram of Texas Wight took his splinter group to frontier Texas a destination to which Smith before his murder had considered moving his followers who were increasingly unwelcome in the Midwest He had instructed Wight to take a small band of church members from Wisconsin to establish a Texas colony that would prepare the ground for a mass migration of the membership Having received these orders directly from Smith Wight did not believe the formers death changed their significance If anything he felt all the more responsible for fulfilling what he believed was a prophets intention Antagonism with Brigham Young and the other LDS apostles grew and Wight refused to join with them or move to their new gathering place in Utah He and his small congregation pursued their own destiny becoming an interesting component of the Texas frontier where they had a significant economic role as early millers and cowboys and a political one as a buffer with the Comanches Their social and religious practices shared many of the idiosyncracies of the larger Mormon sect including polygamous marriages temple rites and economic cooperatives Wight was a charismatic but authoritarian and increasingly odd figure in part because of chemical addictions His death in 1858 while leading his shrinking number of followers on yet one more migration brought an effective end to his independent church

To the Mormon Wives of Utah I Dedicate this Book to you as I consecrate my life to your cause As long as God gives me life I shall pray and plead for your deliverance from the worse than Egyptian bondage in which you are held Despised maligned and wronged kept in gross ignorance of the great world its pure creeds its high aims its generous motives you have been made to believe that the noblest nation of the earth was truly represented by the horde of miscreants who drove you from State to State in early years murdering your sons and assassinating your leaders Hence you shrink from those whom God will soon lead to your deliverance from those to whom I daily present your claims to a hearing and liberation and who listen with responsive and sympathetic hearts But He will not long permit you to be so wickedly deceived nor will the People permit you to be so cruelly enslaved Hope and pray Come out of the house of bondage Kind hearts beat for you Open hands will welcome you Do not fear that while God lives you shall suffer uncared for in the wilderness This Christian realm is not Babylon but The Promised Land Courage The night of oppression is nearly ended and the sun of liberty is rising in the heavens for you AnnEliza Young

Polygamy says the mainstream Mormon Church We gave that up long ago Not so claims noted LDS poet and author Carol Lynn Pearson who examines the issue as it has never been examined before Any member of the LDS Church today who enters the practice of polygamy is immediately excommunicated However Pearson claims polygamy itself has never been excommunicated but has an honored and protected place at the table It has only been postponed a fact confirmed by thousands of eternal sealings giving a man an assurance that he will claim as wives in heaven the two three or even more women he has sequentially married during his lifetime No such opportunity is available to women Through her own personal stories those of her ancestors and the thousands of stories that came to her through an Internet survey Pearson shows the power of the Ghost of Eternal Polygamy as it not only waits on the other side to greet the most righteous in heaven but also haunts the livinghiding in the recesses of the Mormon psyche inflicting profound pain and fear assuring women that they are still objects harming or destroying marriages bringing chaos to family relationships leading many to lose faith in the church and in God Mormon historian and author Dr Gregory Prince says of The Ghost of Eternal Polygamy Carol Lynn Pearson has hit a home run in her quest to illuminate both the damage that Mormonisms de facto practice of polygamy continues to inflict and the route to a better more humane place Those who truly hope for eternal polygamy or who resent any call to institutional reform will be upset but countless others will rejoice that she has shown a more excellent way
