by Schuyler Colfax (Author), John Taylor (Author)

The Mormon Question: Being A Speech Of Vice-President Schuyler Colfax (1870) is a historical book written by Schuyler Colfax. The book addresses the controversial issue of Mormonism and the conflict between the Mormons and the United States government in the late 19th century. Colfax, who was the Vice President of the United States at the time, delivered a speech in the House of Representatives in 1870, which is the basis of this book. In his speech, Colfax discusses the history of the Mormons, their beliefs, and their practices, and the challenges they faced in their relationship with the US government. He also provides his own opinions on the matter, advocating for the government's stance against polygamy and the need for the Mormons to assimilate into American society. The book is a valuable historical document that sheds light on an important period in American history and the ongoing debate about religious freedom and government intervention.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
