Overview

Some left, some stayed. Each one found some aspect of their church s history, doctrine, policies, or politics that they could not reconcile with their own personal ethics. Some felt burdened by the conflict, while others embraced it. A few were reticent, even apologetic about their disagreements. Others were barnstormers. Each possessed some quality that destined him or her to ride at the fringes rather than at the center.Mormon Mavericks summarizes a few famous flashpoints in Mormon history; more importantly, it provides a telling study in human nature. Each contributor is an expert in his or her discipline, and all approach their topic with equal doses of sympathy and objectivity. The following mavericks are featured in this collection of biographical essays: Fawn McKay Brodie Juanita Brooks Thomas Stuart Ferguson Amasa Mason Lyman Sterling M. McMurrin John E. Page Sarah M. Pratt D. Michael Quinn William Smith Fanny Stenhouse T. B. H. Stenhouse James Strang Samuel Woolley Taylor Moses Thatcher
