 The Politics of American Religious Identity: The Seating of Senator Reed Smoot, Mormon Apostle, by Kathleen Flake. ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Reed Smoot's intervention on behalf of the L.D.S. Church during his thirty-year senatorial career enabled the church to thrive domestically and follow the American flag abroad, making it, in the early twenty-first century, America's fifth largest denomination and an international church of several million members.
Ultimately, the Smoot hearing was the forge in which the Latter-day Saints, the Protestants, and their senators hammered out a twentieth-century model for church-state relations, shaping for a new generation of Americans what it meant to be free and religious.
Mormonism's transition during the Smoot hearings from un-American to American, from dangerous infidel to peculiar church, is not its story alone, but the story of the changing relation of churches to the state in the early twentieth century.

 Reviews: In the World: The Diaries of Reed Smoot
The diary entries made by Reed Smoot between 1909 and 1932 reveal a public servant, a Mormon leader, and a hectored family man, and reflect important developments in early-twentieth-century American life.
Between these political and financial worlds, Smoot the family man and Mormon apostle sought a private life in keeping with the teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Smoot emerges from the pages of this diary as a man of contradictions—a no-nonsense politician and an indulgent father, a fiscally responsible public figure and one who repeatedly rescued his fiscally irresponsible adult children.

 In the World: The Diaries of Reed Smoot
No one was more surprised than Reed Smoot when he was called to the LDS apostleship at age thirty-eight.
When he was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1902, and during the ensuing hearings to challenge a Mormon's right to hold office, Smoot was ineffective in swaying public opinion.
But over the next thirty years as he increasingly socialized with corporate leaders and heads of state; in consulting with other senators, and they with him; and in spending long hours at the White House--even vacationing with two U.S. presidents--he emerged as one of the country's most influential men.
