JOSEPH SMITH'S POLYGAMY - BRIAN HALES
Brian Hales' website is a valuable resource for those seeking to understand the complexities of early polygamy and address the criticisms surrounding it. Brian has spent a considerable amount of time researching this subject and has provided a comprehensive chronology of the early Church's involvement with polygamy, including challenging issues such as polyandry, marriages to young girls, and the secrecy surrounding the practice. To gain the best understanding of the historical context, it is recommended to follow the chronology presented on their website, which is supported by historical documentation. It is noteworthy that despite the numerous accusations made by critics of the Church, none have presented a comprehensive historical timeline with references, as brother Hales has done, to support their claims. While polygamy is a complex topic, Brian's research provides valuable insight and helps to dispel many of the unfounded accusations made by critics. See Below
