== Critics tell us that Brigham Young "boasted" about his ability to get more wives even though he was married to 50-60 women.

==== The Tanners cite multiple sources for this claim. They are examined below.
Misrepresentation of source: Brigham is here discussing Thomas B. Marsh's return to the Church, and it is inaccurate to describe him as "boasting." See Quote mining—Journal of Discourses 5:210 to see how this quote was mined.
Citation error: This reference says nothing at all about plural marriage. See Quote mining—Journal of Discourses 8:178 to see how this quote was mined.
==== 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.
