It's interesting because I just finished John Krakauer's Under the Banner of Heaven days before the police busted the ranch. The book gives the history of Fundamentalist Mormons and relates a lot of the stories of it's founding. It also talks about and gives the history of the guys who ran the ranch that was busted.
It's a great, if haunting read. It talks about how polygamy came about in Mormonism and airs a lot of the skeletons in Mormondom's closet, and there are a lot. Definitely worth a read to really understand at least how these people came to be who and where they are. Scary though. Scary indeed.
- I've read that too. It's a blatantly obvious excuse for old men to have sex with young girls.rylamar
