Statements made in America about Mormons have tended in recent years to be favorable. Quite the contrary was true in the 19th century. Fifty novels and tales of adventure about Mormons published in the second half of that century (listed at the conclusion of this essay) advance seven stereotypes or images which contributed to the public opinion of Mormons: The drunken, abusive husband; the white slave procurer; the seducer; the sinister secret society; the sinful, fallen city; the lustful Turk; and the cruel, lustful southern slaveholder. Four of the earliest novels, published by women authors in 1855 and 1856, are analyzed in detail.
