Utah polygamy fate tests governor in Utah politics
Gov. Mike Leavitt faces a political clash over Utah’s anti polygamy clause as a child abuse case against a prominent polygamist clan member tests religious tolerance. Tapestry of Polygamy condemns abuse while a new union calls repeal. Leavitt backpedals yet maintains no condoning of polygamy amid strong Mormon presence. Kingston, a leading polygamist, faces charges over whipping his 16 year old daughter. Prosecutors cite proof issues and private marriages as enforcement hurdles.

Now halfway in Pine Grove Furnace PA, he trails through 14 states toward Mount Katahdin by Oct 15, faces steeper inclines and lush woods, and recalls postwar origins of volunteers who cleared and marked the trail.
