The LeBaron Story

An accurate and personal account of the highly-moral Mormon-Fundamentalist practice of biblical polygamy. A modern Cain and Abel story written by Verlan M. LeBaron and published shortly before his death. (He died in an automobile accident in 1981.) It describes: --How his brother Ervil LeBaron departed from any code of morality. Ervil's thirst for power and his subsequent ordering of their peaceful brother Joel's death. --Ervil's determination to violently destroy all who opposed his dictatorial pursuit of power and control. --Reveals a heartfelt and tragic story. How Verlan, at the request of law officers, spent his last nine years on the underground in order to protect his own life, as well as the lives of others. --His sincere and dedicated support of, as well as his cooperation with law officers in both the United States and Mexico in an effort to bring justice upon Ervil and his fanatical band of followers. --An open and honest narration of traumatic events that followed Ervil's trial of crimes. --Verlan's role as president of the Church of the Firstborn of the Fulness of Times after Joel's death. Guiding a fearful and bewildered people from a distance, appearing only rarely in public to give needed counsel and support. --A clear and frank discussion of his belief that Mexico will serve as a place of safety and refuge for the honest in heart during a time of great distress and calamity upon the United States. Both biblical and Mormon prophecies are cited to uphold his conviction.
