This chapter provides a brief examination of the history, culture, and lifestyles of contemporary Mormon fundamentalists living predominantly in the Rocky Mountain West, including Mexico and Canada. I explore the roots of contemporary polygamous living, shedding light on the differences between the four major fundamentalist movements, including the Fundamentalist Church of Latter-day Saints (FLDS) and the Apostolic United Brethren (AUB), both of which were originally one group from 1930 to 1955. The data is drawn from nearly two decades of anthropological fieldwork (1989-2008). [From the text]
