"What began to unfold in Utah during June 1858 under Brigham Young’s guidance was a continuum of nonmilitary but contentious legal, political, and journalistic maneuvering that minimized further bloodshed but damaged the territory’s repeated bids for statehood and equality until 1896. This article’s purpose is to shed light on this transformation from armed confrontation to prolonged political contest by describing an important but now little-known incident early in Utah’s reconstruction : Thomas L. Kane’s high profile, public defense of a beleaguered Governor Alfred Cumming in March 1859, the eve of his anticipated removal from office by President James Buchanan." [Author]
