"In 1877, Miller, adapted his First Fam'lies of the Sierras into a play, The, Danites, or, the Heart of the Sierras. It opened on August 22, in New York with McKee Rankin as the main character. The, anti-Mormon play, which featured Danites hunting the daughter, of one of the murderers of Joseph Smith, became one of the most, commercially successful in a series of anti-Mormon dramas at, the time. The Spirit of the Times, however, attributed its, success to curious audience members expecting a disastrous, failure and instead discovering a good show: "The play proved, to possess more than ordinary merit, and if it is not a great, work, it is decidedly not a very bad one." The Danites was, extended from a run of only a few days to one of seven straight, weeks before moving to another theatre and, ultimately, was, performed to such a degree that it rivaled the popularity of, Uncle Tom's Cabin. It was published in book form later in 1877., Miller later admitted that he regretted the anti-Mormon tone. ", (from Wikipedia)
