During most of the nineteenth and the first generation of the twentieth century, the Mormons attracted attention in the popular press and also among many scholars as a useful counterimage, a glaring example of what America was not and should not be. They were considered to different their fundamental institutions—theocratic government, plural marriage, and communitarianism—that joining them seemed to constitute and un-American activity. [...]
