Mark Twain was opposed to polygamy in principle when he first arrived in Salt Lake City,where the Mormon leader Brigham Young was situated with his sixty wives.But when Twain first caught a glimpse of Brigham Young's homely wives, he changed his mind. "I was touched. My heart was wiser than my head. It warmed toward those poor, ungainly, and pathetically 'homely' creatures, and as I turned to hide the generous moisture in my eyes, I said, 'No-the man that marries one of them has done an act of Christian Charity which enables him to the kindly applause of mankind, not their harsh censure-and the man that marries sixty of them has done a deed of open-handed generosity so sublime that the nations should stand uncovered in his presence and worship in silence." from the greatest American Humorist
