Saint Abe and His Seven Wives / A Tale of Salt Lake City, with a Bibliographical Note

by Robert Williams Buchanan

Creek;

And the oaths of pioneers, and the ways of the unwashed,

large, undulating, majestic, virile, strong of scent, all

Utah contents me;

The City by the margin of the great Salt Lake contents me;

And to have many wives contents me;

Blessed is he who has a hundred wives, and peoples the

solitudes of these States.
