William Hickman's memoirs, famous for exposing the inner workings
of the Mormon church as it was during the mid-19th century, are
available here complete with the original appendices. A sensation
upon their original release in 1872, the evocatively titled
Brigham's Destroying Angel chronicles William Hickman's life as he
traverses the ranks of the Mormon Church, which was at the time led
by its second President, Brigham Young. Bill Hickman portrays
Brigham as charismatic but controlling preacher, with sermons used
to keep his followers and fellow settlers of the West in line.
Hickman himself was a professional gunslinger, responsible for
numerous assassinations which he confesses in this book. He was
also a polygamist, having married a total of ten wives during his
time in the Church of Latter-Day Saints. In 1868 Hickman was
excommunicated from the church, and a few years he was later
charged with murder. Following his arrest, Hickman was held under
guard in an early form of witness protection.
