The institutions with which we have been professionally associated—Brigham Young University and the Family and Church History Department of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—were generous in supporting this book, both in allowing us professional time to research and write, and in funding the work of colleagues and research assistants who helped with the project. Throughout, we were given the freedom to make our own judgments and have retained full editorial control over our manuscript—all the more remarkable given the sensitivity of our topic. To the institutions and the many men and women who have contributed to our book, we extend the usual disclaimer. As authors, we alone are responsible for the book’s contents.
