William Hepworth Dixon, White Conquest: Volume 1, Chapter 21: polygamy. (search)
r Fanny and Sister Belinda; besides his dead queen, Sister Carrie, who had been sealed to him for the eternal worlds. Fanny was of English birth, a clever, handsome woman, who had given Belinda to her husband for his second wife. Belinda came of saintly race, being a daughter of Parley Pratt, the first apostle, called the Archer of Paradise, and of Belinda Pratt, the foremost female advocate of polygamy. She was an orphan when the Elder took her; Pratt, her father, having been killed in Arkansas by Hector McLean, a gentleman whose wife the Mormon apostle had converted and carried off. Not satisfied with these young and comely women, Stenhouse was looking for another wife ; and Sister Fanny tried her best to make me think he was doing right in following the celestial law. To-day she puts into my hands a volume written by her pen, in which plurality of wives is pictured from a Gentile point of view. The fall of these conspicuous advocates of plurality is due to the friction caused

d, dragged him into the open yard, and shot him in the presence of his squaws. His son, according to the Indian rule of Blood Atonement, was also taken out and shot. For these black deeds Bear Paw was made a captain in the Light Horse, and his example spurred on other braves to imitate his heroism. One party caught a lad named Webber, a nephew of the murdered Boudinot, and, for his uncle's sins, hacked him to pieces with their knives. A party followed Ridge, an uncle of Boudinot, into Arkansas, and shot him from his horse; while another party rode to the ranch of another Ridge, a cousin of Boudinot, dragged him out of bed, and in the presence of his wife, plunged no less than twenty-nine daggers into his chest. Jack Ross has been succeeded by his son Billy, a cunning fellow, who contrives to keep his hold on the conservatives of his party-thieves, polygamists, and communists, who wish to keep their ancient ways. The leadership of his opponents, the radicals, who wish to imit

the poor old squaw whom they have given to him as a wife. He dares not squat .on Indian ground, for though the President pronounces him a free man, his recent master has the power to kill him as before, and neither judge nor sheriff would attach that master for his blood. What wonder that the liberated Negroes melt from the Indian soil, much as a herd of ponies turned into the waste might melt from the soil? Some hundreds of these emancipated slaves have fled across the frontier into Arkansas and Texas; trusting to the White man's sense of justice for protection in the commoner sort of civil rights. But as a rule the poorer people in a district cannot seek new homes. Like plants and animals, they must brave their lot or sink into the soil. To many fugitives from Choctaw lodges and Chickasaw tents, Caddo has become a home. The site on which these outcasts have squatted is a piece of ground abandoned by the Caddoes, a small and wandering tribelet, who in former days --whipt
