Book Reviews of Colorado City Polygamists: An Inside Look for the Outsider
Book Review: A clear view of the real purposes behind a facade of religion
Summary: 5 Stars
Colorado City Polygamists is a rare view into the real reasons behind so called FLDS in Colorado City. I worked in the Fredonia/Colorado City area during the 1980s and witnessed first hand what is so accurately portrayed in this book. It is pitiful that greed and avarice of misguided "leaders" allowed the true tenets of FLDS to be kidnapped by charlatans and neer-do-wells.
This is the first time that the reader gets a REAL look at polygamy and the distortions of old testament plural marriage beliefs. Believe me, I felt myself taken back to the times that I had to go to Colorado City on business and the constant observation by locals. Ben Bristline provides both, an excellent insight AND accurate portrayal, of life in Colorado City.
