As for your "challenge", are you asking for a revelation as proof that JS practiced polyandry? What does that have to do with history? Looks like a poorly attempted dodge.
And BTW, Bushman was not the first one to write about JS's polyandy. Not by a long shot.

I've been mocking/trivializing the somber importance people attach to the book; moreso the conclusions they appear to be drawing.
I'm not necessarily looking for revelatory of proof of polyandry (although it's absence should tell you something). I'm looking for scriptural evidence that Joseph was guilty of some of the beliefs/acts/teachings and the corresponding divine disdain/reproval/punishment suggested by the hypothesizing in this thread.
I'm certainly not painting Bushman's work as a polemic, although you seem intent on stuffing those words into my mouth.
Moreover, reading the book will not likely change my opinion, but I plan on doing so eventually. I suspect were I to read it and then post the same opinions, your anti-Tex accusation dial would just rotate from "you are ignorant" to "you are blind/stupid." There's not really room here for me to legimately disagree.
