E127: The Polygamy Explosion in Early Utah

https://sunstone.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/SLP-127.mp3 During early Utah’s “Mormon Reformation,” LDS leaders whipped the Saints into a religious fervor. Along with this reformation came an unprecedented spate of polygamous marriages. Scholar John G. Turner tells the story of the run-up and fallout of this matrimonial frenzy. This episode was recorded at the 2016 Sunstone Summer Symposium.
