   of Latter-day Saints) in the United States, followers of
   Joseph Smith, who professed to have found an addition to the

   Book of Mormon, first published in 1830. The Mormons
      believe in polygamy, and their hierarchy of apostles,

         have certain supernatural powers. The church
         headquarters are in Salt Lake City, Utah. They form a
         substantial fraction of the population of Utah, and at
         the end of the 20th centrury their numbers were
         increasing due to active proselytization.
