This is an expanded work from the author's previous expose on polygamy.
The parents and siblings of Fanny Warn were among the many British converts to the LDS church in the mid-19th century. Fanny also joined the religion and soon married another British convert - T.B.H Stenhouse. After 5 years of European proselytizing, the couple was summoned to the Utah territory. A deteriorating opinion of Brigham Young and the push for polygamy caused the couple to join the dissident LDS offshoot, the Godbeites. Each released multiple exposés on Mormonism and the culture of Deseret.
