It's really interesting and paints an obviously not-good picture of Brigham Young.

I thought it was this Brigham

would've been amusing.

But a religious cult leader having not-so-great relationships and/or views of women? Well color me surprised.

If only one out of 55 was upset enough to write a book about it that's not bad!

634 pages - I just do not have that kind of time.

So what was the problem with Brigham? She did not like to share? Wiki says in her 3rd marriage she stepped outside to share with the whole town.

it's not a proper cult if the founder isn't leveraging to get more than a fair share of young stuff

Dammit Becky, I have shit to do.

It looks like most of her knowledge about the Kirtland years, Missouri, and Nauvoo are second-hand through her mother. I want to sit down and go through this when I get a chance though.

In reference to an exchange between Joseph Smith and John C. Bennett in which both accused each other of immorality and marital infidelities: "The raven was taunting the crow for being a blackamoor."

That's a phrase I'd never heard.

@previous (G)
I hadn't heard the word blackamoor before until I started watching the Hulu show, Harlots
