3.0 out of 5 stars
A sad commentary on majority interference with minorities...,
By ttallman@linknet.kitsap.lib.wa.us (Seattle, Wa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kidnapped From That Land: The Government Raids on the Short Creek Polygamist (Paperback)
I found the book in a Utah bookstore the same weekend I first visited the town. We were staying with a family that we had business with. We were not aware the town is polygamous but were able to figure it out fairly quickly. Later we told the folks we had stayed with about the book and they had never heard of it. We loaned them our copy and one comment they made was the number of innaccuracies listed. None of them were particularly major but they were numerous. We were favorably impressed by the people we met. My wife visited there again last year and stayed for nearly two weeks. She says that the depiction of the community in the book really doesn't match what she saw during her stay. We did feel that the book didn't take a "mainline" Mormon viewpoint versus the community's minority viewpoint.
