Brigham Young and Heber C. Kimball: lifelong friends, mission companions, collaborators.

We all know they were taught polygamy by Joseph, and both declared it was the greatest trial of the lives, right?

Jeremy Hoop digs deep into their original sources -- journals, letters, speeches and records -- to see how well these claims hold up.

What did they know about polygamy, and when? Where did they learn it, and who taught it to them?

If you believe Joseph Smith was the originator of polygamy, you might want to spend more time getting to know Brigham and Heber.
