A Little-Known Defense of Polygamy from the Mormon Press in 1842

1974: Lawrence Foster, “A Little-known Defense of Polygamy from the Mormon press in 1842“ Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought, Vol 9 No. 4 (1974): 21–34.

Foster points out that in 1842 an unpublished pamphlet was written called “The Peace Maker” that expressed its support for polygamy. It is the first-known defense of polygamy before 1852.
