Review: Mormon Polygamy: A History

Nutzerbericht - Sandy - Goodreads

Review: Mormon Polygamy: A History

Nutzerbericht - Austin Archibald - Goodreads

Best book at the time on Mormon Polygamy has still stood the test of time as an indispensable resource decades later. Well-written and concisely summarized, it is one of the first books you should read if you want to track the principle's history throughout Mormonism. Vollständige Rezension lesen

Nutzerbericht - Carol - Goodreads

Very good, especially if you haven't read much about it before. This was the first in depth recording of the Sarah Pratt case. At times it is a bit odd because Van Wagoner seems to be an LDS believer ... Vollständige Rezension lesen

Nutzerbericht - Sam Newton - Goodreads

This is a nice primer on Mormon polygamy. He does lack a thesis, but does paint a nice narrative picture of Mormon polygamy. I'd call this the first book any student of Mormon polygamy should read. Vollständige Rezension lesen

Review: Mormon Polygamy: A History

Nutzerbericht - Rolf - Goodreads

Very interesting, but tough book to read--lots of "man, they don't teach that in Sunday School" kind of moments. Definitely interesting and informative, though also a niche book for the topic, hardly an introduction to LDS doctrine/culture in general. Vollständige Rezension lesen
