For more than twenty years, John Milton Bernhisel negotiated with
the federal government on behalf of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints. Bruce W. Worthen illuminates the life and work
of the man whose diplomacy steered the Church's relationship with
Washington, D.C. from its early period of dangerous conflict to a
peaceful and pragmatic coexistence. Having risen from a
Pennsylvania backcountry upbringing to become a respected member of
the upper class, Bernhisel possessed a personal history that
allowed him to reach common ground with politicians and other
outsiders. He negotiated for Joseph Smith's life and, after the
Church's relocation to the Utah Territory, took on the task of
rehabilitating the public image of the Latter-day Saints. Brigham
Young's defiance of the government undermined Bernhisel's work, but
their close if sometimes turbulent relationship ultimately allowed
Bernhisel to make peace with Washington, secure a presidential
pardon for Young, and put Utah and the Latter-day Saints on the
road to formally joining the United States.
