Most scholars of Mormonism and race are familiar with the "negro prophet" William McCary and his presence at Winter Quarters in 1847. While extant interpretations of the Winter Quarters episode have illuminated certain questions of race, gender, and Church doctrine, they have obscured others. By widening our view from the narrow question of blacks in the priesthood to include popular ideas about Indians, crises of authority and identity within and beyond the Church, and concerns about interracial sex and marriage, we can better situate the Winter Quarters episode not only within Mormon history, but also within the broader social and cultural history of the antebellum United States.
