-==Criticism==
-Critics tell us that Brigham Young "boasted" about his ability to get more wives even though he was married to 50-60 women.
-===Sources of the criticism===
-* {{CriticalWork:Tanner:Changing World|pages=233}}
-==Response==
-The Tanners cite multiple sources for this claim.  They are examined below.
-===JD 5:210===
-{{SourceDistortion}}: Brigham is here discussing Thomas B. Marsh's return to the Church, and it is inaccurate to describe him as "boasting."
-{{QuoteMining|Journal of Discourses|5:210}}
-===JD 8:178===
-{{CitationError}}: This reference says nothing at all about plural marriage.
-{{QuoteMining|Journal of Discourses|8:178}}
-==Conclusion==
-As is often the case, the references do not support the critics claims, and the worst possible interpretation is placed on what are likely innocent remarks, or remarks intended to teach a ''spiritual'' point.
