New book examines polygamy
Remembering - and understanding 19th century Mormon plural marriage - is the goal of Hardy's just published book,
Doing the Works of Abraham: Mormon Polygamy, Its Origins, Practice and Demise.
"I think it is important not because it is something they should live and believe in themselves, but out of regard for the dear, old Saints who gave their lives for it in the 19th century," Hardy said in a telephone interview. "It is quite a heroic story and needs to be told. They deserve not to be forgotten."
