Summary
Embry draws from both sociology and history to examine the workings of polygamous households in late nineteenth and early twentieth-century Mormonism, looking beyond the revelation and the laws that were passed against polygamy to the motives, beliefs, perceptions, and experiences of those who were part of polygamous families.
