Summary: "The Mormon Prophet and His Harem" by C.V. Waite is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book presents an in-depth examination of Brigham Young, his polygamous relationships, and the sociopolitical dynamics of the Mormon community during his leadership. It explores Young’s rise to power, his establishment of a religious monarchy, and the controversial practices that defined his role as a Prophet within the Latter-day Saints Church. The opening of the book provides a detailed background of Brigham Young's early life, including his family history, baptism into Mormonism, and ascent to leadership following Joseph Smith's death. Waite recounts Young’s initiatives to establish Mormon settlements, such as his pivotal role in leading the Mormons to Salt Lake Valley. The narrative establishes the foundation for understanding both Young’s personal motivations and the broader context of the church's expansion amidst persecution, revealing the complexities of polygamy and the intertwining of religion and governance in Utah during this period.
