These hearings became the catalyst for the American public to attempt to finally come to grips with the so-called "Mormon Problem" which was comprised of the doctrine of polygamy. For the LDS Church it was a catalyst for coming to grips with adapting to the political and social environment and to assessing its doctrine in the light of overwhelming external forces. A fascinating read.
