One, two, three, go.

Hello, and welcome back to another episode of the Feminist Mormon Housewise podcast.

I'm your host, Lindsay, bringing you another episode in the Year of Polygamy series,

where we seek to understand the practice of Mormon plural marriage.

If this is your first time tuning in, I would encourage you to go to episode one,

where we talk about Fannie Alger as this series is meant to go in order.

And if you're not going in order, that's okay. I won't shame you, but I will suggest that you go to the episode before this because this is meant to be part two of a series on Southern Utah.

The first episode's a little dry, but it helps contestualize what we're

going to be talking about today. And as a disclaimer, in what is a series of unfortunate events,

I have inhaled an M&M today while ingesting my diet, Dr. Pepper, and snacking right before the

podcast. So now that I've given you some

insight into my snacking habits, hopefully that won't be a problem and my voice can keep up for

this podcast. So last episode, I really discussed why saints began moving south. And of course, we know that Brigham Young would send saints

all the way up to Canada and all the way down to Mexico. And we are going to be covering Mexico

and Canada coming up. But I want to talk about the expansion southward. And we talked about

St. George, which is a big town, which had a high incidence

of polygamy, but Southern Utah was really famous for its high percentage of polygamous families.

So what I'm going to do today is talk about a few polygamous towns, a few Southern Utah towns,

and then I'm going to talk about a few polygamous families that lived in the towns.
