I briefly covered some items in the form of questions related to Joseph Smith not practicing polygamy in the 5 Questions post earlier.
One of my friends has been researching this topic and has finished writing a paper that casts much more light on this subject. He has given permission to share and so I am providing a link to the paper here.

Update: A book has been written which goes into much more detail regarding the history of polygamy using many LDS source documents. It contains a lot of material related to the official church history and information from journals of early leaders. While I do not agree with all the conclusions of this book; I do find it a valuable source of information.
