The article discusses the legal and historical context of the 1852 law "An Act in Relation to Service," passed by the Utah Territorial Legislature. It examines legal aspects of slavery and explores the legal rights of slaves. The author comments on aspects of indentured servitude and gradual emancipation. An 1851 article in the periodical the "Frontier Guardian" by Mormon Apostle Orson Hyde concerning the Mormon position on slavery is considered. The views of Mormon leader Brigham Young are also presented.
