The article provides an account of practices of polygamy by Latter Day Saint movement founder Joseph Smith and a group of men from Nauvoo, Illinois including Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS) leader Brigham Young. The author discusses children born through the men's polygamous marriages, Young's advocacy of polygamy as a means to prevent prostitution, and the polygamist practices of various other men in Smith's inner-circle including Parley P. Pratt, Orson Pratt, and Joseph Andrew Kelting. Other topics include the concept of polygamy in Mormon scripture and its eventual removal in the late 19th century, and fundamentalist Mormons that continued to practice polygamy.
