Some Mormons never practiced polygamy. She might be quite right that her branch didn’t. Polygamy was an issue that split the LDS early on. Many that went by wagon train to Utah split away and went on to Oregon and other places because they did not believe in polygamy. It is interesting- because at that time the non-polygamists were the smaller splinter group.

Which doesn’t change the fact that Brigham Young led the “smaller splinter group”, one of the infallible founding church fathers. Please read Ann Young’s book, “Wife No. 19”, it is Warren Jeffs all over. Much less Joseph Smith himself is the crackpot who started it all in the first place. Apologists never quit.

On such a foundation of sand is based the entire Mormon Church.
