1856 Mormon Tale
S6 E1 - 15m 36s
The tattered pages of an 1856 anonymously authored book titled "Female Life Among the Mormons" claim to be the personal memoirs of a wife of a Mormon elder. In it, the author claims to have witnessed a shocking, immoral culture of violence, polygamy, sexual depravity and brainwashing. Who wrote this book and is it in face a true account of Mormon life?
