Salt Lake City became a popular travel destination and topic for writers after plural marriage was publicly announced. Writing about the Mormons by non-Mormons was principally sensational and baseless while Mormon writing was defensive and apologetic. A smaller number of writers tried to be objective. These included Sir Richard Burton, Horace Greeley, and Mark Twain. This attempt at fairness was a new course in American society for writing about an unpopular minority religion.
