In late September 1851, four territorial officers left their posts in Utah and traveled to Washington, D.C., where they leveled serious charges against the Mormons. This article focuses on the fall-out on the national political stage and in public opinion for both the Latter-day Saints and the officers. A major point of our argument is to demonstrate that Mormon and Utah history must be told not only from the perspective of Salt Lake City, but also from Washington, D.C. While Mormonism had attracted the interest of the American public many times before, the territorial structure ensured that the problems in Utah would capture the attention of both national policymakers and the public.
