The admission of Utah as a state is examined from the standpoint of what "prize political leaders of each major national party expected to garner from finally granting that measure of self-government." Lyman looks at the machinations behind the selection of Utah's first U.S. senators. Although George Q. Cannon and Isaac Trumbo worked the longest and most directly in the struggle for Utah statehood, they failed to receive the senatorial rewards. Lyman traces the Utah and Mormon political allegiances from the Democratic Party to its present firm alignment with conservative Republicanism.
