The Twenty-Seventh Wife

This book is non-fiction and has documented sources for almost all statements. It is very non-biased and presents both the Mormon arguments and the anti-Mormon arguments. The reader has the information needed to make an informed decision about the personality of Brigham Young and his last living wife. The arguments both for and against polygamy are well stated. Most of the arguments are simply quotations from documented sources. The book is somewhat difficult to read because of the biographical nature of the material and the chronological progression. However, the difficulty is well worth the effort for a reader searching for information on life in an American harem.

This book is an ABSOLUTE MUST READ for anyone wanting to learn about the cult of mormonism!
