LDS Church Authority and New Plural Marriages, 1890-1904

1985: Michael Quinn, “LDS Church Authority and New Plural Marriages, 1890-1904 Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought, Vol 18 No. 1 (1985): 9–105.

Quinn shares that even with the Manifesto that officially ended plural marriage, plural marriages were still happening in the church between the First and Second Manifestos. Despite church leaders arguring that no plural marriages were happening, there is evidence to support the fact that both church members and church leaders were entering into new plural marriages.
