Broadbrims New York Letter on City Life and Child Welfare
Broadbrim reflects on New York life in 1585, contrasting wealth and poverty from Astor to a barefoot tramp. He writes about street arabs selling lotteries papers, female pickpockets, and a lack of early child protection, urging missions for rescue, and critiques Forster guidance. He notes bigamy cases, socialists and riot policing, ending with a digression on Mormon Edmunds law enforcement in Utah.

The article details a revival of polygamy among Mormons, state and federal actions, and the ousting of polygamists from church roles. It describes trials under the Edmunds law, harsh penalties for leaders, and deputy marshals enforcing anti polygamy statutes amid a climate of fear and repression. Rodger Clawson’s conviction and the Supreme Court’s earlier stance on the law are noted, along with clemency appeals and selective leniencies for those who vow to live with one wife.
