Gobo Fango was a slave, brought to Utah by a Mormon family converted in South Africa. He was freed only during the Civil War. He never joined the Church, but lived in Utah and Idaho until he was thirty, when he was killed in a dispute with Frank Bedke, who was later found not guilty of murder. Garrett interprets this as a reflection of the attitudes of the times.
