Memorial. To The Honorable President, and the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States in Congress Assembled: Gentlemen— We, your memorialists, respectfully represent that a mass meeting of the women of Utah, held in the Theatre, Salt Lake City, March 6, 1886, attended by over two thousand ladies, representing the wives, mothers, sisters and daughters of the whole Territory, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted….

This disbound item is only twelve pages. It protests the monstrous man-hunt for polygamists which occurred in the 1880s in which Mormon wives were forced to testify against their husbands, homes were invaded, and women abused. There are several accounts of these events included.

They also protested the vote being taken away from them from the federal government; something the territory of Utah had given them.

Very good condition; very unique, an important piece of LDS  history, and extremely rare.

Page twelve shows the signatures of several women who drafted the document.
