When Joseph Smith announced his revelation that plural marriage was essential to attaining the highest level of eternal salvation, he introduced what became the most notorious aspect of Mormon culture. This title offers a look at the long-term interaction between belief and the practice of polygamy, or plural marriage, among the Latter-day Saints.
