Wagoner, Richard S. Van; MORMON POLYGAMY - A History
Signature Books, Salt Lake City, UT: Paperback, New,
Brand new softcover book! Never been read! ; In this comprehensive survey of Mormon Polygamy, Richard Van Wagoner details, with precision and detachment, the tumultuous reaction among insiders and outsiders to plural marriage. In an honest, methodical way, he traces the origins, the peculiarities common to the midwestern and later Utah periods, and post-1890 new marriages. Drawing heavily on first-hand accounts, he outlines the theological underpinnings and the personal trauma associated with this lifestyle. What emerges is a portrait that neither discounts nor exaggerates the historical evidence. He presents polygamy in context, neither condemning nor defending, while relevant contemporary accounts are treated sympathetically but interpreted critically. No period of Mormon history is emphasized over another. The result is a systematic view that is unavailable in studies of isolated periods or in the repetitions of folklore that only disguise the reality of what polygamy was. Scattered throughout the western United States today are an estimated 30,000 fundamentalist Mormons who still live "the principle. " They, too, are a part of Joseph Smith's legacy and are included in this study. ; 6" x 9"; 268 pages,

Van Wagoner, Richard S.; SIDNEY RIGDON - a Portrait of Religious Excess
Signature Books, Salt Lake City, UT: Paperback, New,
Brand new softcover book! Never been read! ; BEST BOOK, JOHN WHITMER HISTORICAL ASSOCIATIONBEST BIOGRAPHY, MORMON HISTORY ASSOCIATIONIn the late 1820s a fiery young minister in western Ohio converted nearly 1,000 proselytes to the Reformed Baptist Movement. As these schismatics organized themselves into the new Disciples of Christ church, the Reverend Sidney Rigdon was already aligning himself with another, more radical movement, the Latter-day Saints, where he quickly became the LDS prophet's principal advisor and spokesman. He served Joseph Smith loyally for the next fourteen years, even through a brief spat over the prophet's romantic interest in his teenage daughter. Next to Smith, Rigdon was the most influential early Mormon. He imported Reformed Baptist teachings into Latter-day Saint theology, wrote the canonized Lectures on Faith, championed communalism and isolationism, and delivered many of the most significant early sermons, including the famous Salt Sermon and the Ohio temple dedicatory address. Following Smith's death, Rigdon parted company with Brigham Young to lead his own group of some 500 secessionists Mormons in Pennsylvania. Rigdon's following gradually dwindled, as the one-time orator took to wandering the streets, taunting indifferent passersby with God's word. He was later recruited by another Mormon faction. Although he refused to meet with them, he agreed to be their prophet and send revelations by mail. Before long he had directed them to settle far-off Iowa and Manitoba, among other things. At his death, his followers numbered in the hundreds, and today they number about 10,000, mostly in Pennsylvania. "Rigdon is a biographer's dream, " writes Richard Van Wagoner. Intellectually gifted, manic-depressive, an eloquent orator and social innovator but a chronic indigent, Rigdon aspired to altruism but demanded advantage and deference. When he lost prominence, his early attainments were virtually written out of the historical record. Correcting this void, Van Wagoner has woven the psychology of religious incontinence into the larger fabric of social history. In doing so, he reminds readers of the significance of this nearly-forgotten founding member of the LDS First Presidency. Nearly ten million members in over one hundred churches trace their heritage to Joseph Smith. Many are unaware of the importance of Rigdon's contributions to their inherited theology. ; 6" x 9"; 504 pages,

Young, Brigham; Wagoner, Richard S. Van (editor & Complier); The Complete Discourses of Brigham Young -
Signature Books, 2009, Hardcover, New,
Brand new limited edition. Now Out of Print. ; The Complete Discourses of Brigham Young has been a long time coming, and Van Wagoner confesses to increased admiration for Brigham Young due to the Church leader's vast vocabulary and ability to quote scripture at length without a script. Van Wagoner says readers will be surprised on nearly every page to learn, for instance, that Young believed the Old Testament laws applied to Latter-day Saints and therefore advised members not to eat pork; that speaking from the pulpit, Young said Apostle Parley Pratt was killed because he had committed adultery; and that, in comments extensive and complex, Young emphasized that Adam was in fact God and that "Jesus is Father Adam's oldest son." These five volumes contain all known published and previously unpublished speeches by Young, drawing mostly from manuscript. All known discourses, mnay of which have never been published. Much of this material has been gleaned from the Leonard J. Arrington Papers at Utah State and has not been available to researches until recently.. ; 8.5" x 11"; 3260 pages,
