An Ordered Love
Author: Louis J. KernPublisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469620421
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 447
Book Description
An Ordered Love is the first detailed study of sex roles in the utopian communities that proposed alternatives to monogamous marriage: The Shakers (1779-1890), the Mormons (1843-90), and the Oneida Community (1848-79). The lives of men and women changed substantially when they joined one of the utopian communities. Louis J. Kern challenges the commonly held belief that Mormon polygamy was uniformly downgrading to women and that Oneida pantagamy and Shaker celibacy were liberating for them. Rather, Kern asserts that changes in sexual behavior and roles for women occurred in ideological environments that assumed women were inferior and needed male guidance. An elemental distrust of women denied the Victorian belief in their moral superiority, attacked the sanctity of the maternal role, and institutionalized the dominance of men over women. These utopias accepted the revolutionary idea that the pleasure bond was the essence of marriage. They provided their members with a highly developed theological and ideological position that helped them cope with the ambiguities and anxieties they felt during a difficult transitional stage in social mores. Analysis of the theological doctrines of these communities indicates how pervasive sexual questions were in the minds of the utopians and how closely they were related to both reform (social perfection) and salvation (individual perfection). These communities saw sex as the point at which the demands of individual selfishness and the social requirements of self-sacrifice were in most open conflict. They did not offer their members sexual license, but rather they established ideals of sexual orderliness and moral stability and sought to provide a refuge from the rampant sexual anxieties of Victorian culture. Kern examines the critical importance of considerations of sexuality and sexual behavior in these communities, recognizing their value as indications of larger social and cultural tensions. Using the insights of history, psychology, and sociology, he investigates the relationships between the individual and society, ideology and behavior, and thought and action as expressed in the sexual life of these three communities. Previously unused manuscript sources on the Oneida Community and Shaker journals and daybooks reveal interesting and sometimes startling information on sexual behavior and attitudes.

Blood of the Prophets
Author: Will BagleyPublisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 0806186844
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 556
Book Description
The massacre at Mountain Meadows on September 11, 1857, was the single most violent attack on a wagon train in the thirty-year history of the Oregon and California trails. Yet it has been all but forgotten. Will Bagley’s Blood of the Prophets is an award-winning, riveting account of the attack on the Baker-Fancher wagon train by Mormons in the local militia and a few Paiute Indians. Based on extensive investigation of the events surrounding the murder of over 120 men, women, and children, and drawing from a wealth of primary sources, Bagley explains how the murders occurred, reveals the involvement of territorial governor Brigham Young, and explores the subsequent suppression and distortion of events related to the massacre by the Mormon Church and others.

A Mormon Rebel
Author: Frederick GardinerPublisher: Signature Books
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Frederick Gardiner's narrative begins with his childhood in Chalford Hill, England. It was there that he encountered Mormon missionaries and embarked on his journey to the United States, working in New Orleans and St. Louis before making his way to Utah in 1851. The rest of his family arrived by handcart five years later. Gardiner married, began a family, was employed as a mercantile clerk, and was hired by Brigham Young to oversee the toll gate at the mouth of City Creek Canyon. He soon argued with Young over his salary, for which he was excommunicated. Gardiner sought protection from Utah's new governor, Alfred Cumming, who provided him an escort as far as Fort Bridger, where he found employment with the invading U.S. troops. During the military occupation of Utah, Gardiner worked as a doctor's assistant at Camp Floyd. He performed his first surgery there, amputating two frozen toes. Gardiner and his family left in 1859 with the surviving children of the Mountain Meadows Massacre, accompanied by federal troops. He spent the Civil War in New Orleans, after which he and his family traveled to England, then returned to Salt Lake City in the spring of 1869. Despite the uncertainty of his standing in Utah, he remained to establish a medical practice and raise his family, dying in 1903.
