The Latter Day Saint movement (a subset of
Restorationism) is a group of religious denominations and adherents who follow at least some of the
teachings and revelations of
Joseph Smith, Jr., publisher of the
Book of Mormon in 1830. The Latter Day Saint movement is one of a number of separate movements, known collectively as
Restorationism, intending to transcend
Protestant denominationalism, and to restore a form of

Smith's death in 1844, the
movement divided into several groups, the largest of which,
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) migrated to
Utah and became famous in the
19th century for its practice of
plural marriage. The LDS Church abandoned this practice in 1890. Other denominations, who refer to themselves as
Mormon fundamentalists, continued the practice.
