Mormon Polygamy: A History

10 Questions and Answers on Mormonism

Richard Van Wagoner offers one of the best looks at the practice of plural marriage within the context of Mormonism. He offers a balanced view of this controversial subject beginning with Smith’s secret relationships in Ohio and Nauvoo, to its public announcement in 1852. Van Wagoner spends considerable space examining its affect on Mormon women, the politics behind the Manifesto of 1890, and the splinter groups that carried on the practice after its disavowal by the LDS Church.
