Background
George Quayle Cannon (1827-1901) was a Mormon publisher and attorney who
lent travel necessaries to Salt Lake City emigrants. He was later part of a
delegation that petitioned the U.S. government for Utah statehood (1872),
subsequently serving Utah Territory in the U.S. House of Representatives
(1872-1880) until barred from his seat for practising polygamy. [Ms2.C226]
