National Geographic on FLDS

Published February 19, 2010 at 5:00 AM PST

The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has several towns established in Nevada, Utah and Texas.

They claim, of course, to be the true descendants of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young. We talk with the reporter who investigated the FLDS for the magazine.
