Brigham Henry Roberts (1857-1933) was a historian, politician, and a leader in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He was a member-elect of the U.S. House of Representatives from Utah's at-large district. His seat was refused by the House because of his practice of polygamy. A prolonged battle ensued to claim the seat, and he was unsuccessful. This book contains the information as it was occurring.
