Because of comments made by Church leaders upon his reassumption of the office of chief justice of the Utah Territorial Supreme Court in 1860 and the good relationship which was sustained with the Mormons during his second term, historians have had the impression that John F. Kinney enjoyed the confidence of the Mormons during his first term (1854-1857) as well. However, a close examination of his first term reveals that Kinney was unable to maintain good relations with the Mormons because of his judicial opinions, relations with federal soldiers, and his ambitions to replace Brigham Young as territorial governor. The explanation for the kind reception he received upon his return to territorial office in 1860 is reflective of his personal discretion in not publicly attacking the Mormons during his first term.
