    University of Nevada, Reno THE SECRET MORMON MEETINGS OF 1922 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History By Shannon Caldwell Montez C. Elizabeth Raymond, Ph.D. / Thesis Advisor December 2019 Copyright by Shannon Caldwell Montez 2019 All Rights Reserved UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA RENO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the thesis prepared under our supervision by SHANNON CALDWELL MONTEZ entitled The Secret Mormon Meetings of 1922 be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS C. Elizabeth Raymond, Ph.D., Advisor Cameron B. Strang, Ph.D., Committee Member Greta E. de Jong, Ph.D., Committee Member Erin E. Stiles, Ph.D., Graduate School Representative David W. Zeh, Ph.D., Dean, Graduate School December 2019 i Abstract B. H. Roberts presented information to the leadership of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in January of 1922 that fundamentally challenged the entire premise of their religious beliefs. New research shows that in addition to church leadership, this information was also presented during the neXt few months to a select group of highly educated Mormon men and women outside of church hierarchy. This group represented many aspects of Mormon belief, different areas of eXpertise, and varying approaches to dealing with challenging information. Their stories create a beautiful tapestry of Mormon life in the transition years from polygamy, frontier life, and resistance to statehood, assimilation, and respectability. A study of the people involved illuminates an important, overlooked, underappreciated, and eXciting period of Mormon history.

It is included here to give you an acquaintance with this Mormon scripture. Introduction to the Book of Mormon The fourth-last paragraph includes Joseph Smith, Jr.’s claim that the Book of Mormon is the world’s most perfect book. Jesus preaches in the Americas This link takes you to 3 Nephi 8-30 in the Book of Mormon which relates Jesus’ supposed visit to the Americas.

A Seer Stone and a Hat: Translating the Book of Mormon This article sites early testimony for how Joseph Smith, Jr. translated the Book of Mormon from the golden plates.

Seer Stones- the Occult in Joseph Smith’s Day This article points out that seer stones and hats were commonly used in Joseph Smith’s time. Where Are the Ten Lost Tribes? This PBS article describes the background for the lost tribes of Israelites and traces worldwide claims for their location: including the identification of American Indians with the lost tribes centuries before Joseph Smith, Jr. Setting the Record Straight About Native Peoples: Lost Tribes of Israel This article answers linguistic claims that Native American languages match Egyptian and other hieroglyphics.
