LDS Perspectives Podcast LDS Perspectives Podcast The Lost 116 Pages – Don Bradley This is not a verbatim transcript. Some grammar and wording has been modified for clarity. Brian Hales: Hi, this is Brian Hales here with LDS Perspectives Podcast. We are here with Don Bradley who is a professional researcher who has recently finished his master’s thesis in history from Utah State University. He has presented at many scholarly conferences and has co-authored chapters in books like Persistence of Polygamy on the topic of polygamy. He’s also co-authored a chapter in Laura Harris Hales’s A Reason for Faith, but that chapter was on the Kinderhook plates. Now, we are here with Don to talk about the Book of Mormon’s lost 116 pages, which he is using for the title of his new book that will be published by Greg Kofford books. There aren’t too many LDS scholars who could talk authoritatively on three such diverse topics, but Don can do it, and we’re excited to have him here with us today. Don, why don’t you give us a little background on what got you interested in the lost 116 pages. Don Bradley: Sure. Hey there, Brian, my friend, it’s good to be with you. Brian Hales: Yes, it’s great. Don Bradley: This project has a long history. I’ve actually done research on the lost 116 pages for about 13 years, and my interest in the lost pages goes back much further, actually to when I was a kid. The lost 116 pages are what you might call a “conspicuous sacred absence,” so every Mormon primary child knows about the lost 116 pages, but nobody knows what was in them. This has become kind of natural to us because that’s just the way that it is. But really, if you think about it, there’s nothing natural about that, right? I remember recognizing that when I was a kid before I’d gotten used to this idea, “Oh, we just don’t have these pages.” I was about 11 years old and in primary, and we had a unit on presidents of the church. When we talked about Joseph Smith, we talked about Joseph and Martin and the loss of the LDS Perspectives Podcast The Lost 116 Pages – Don Bradley manuscript. I remember thinking, “We’re missing part of the Book of Mormon? What was in it?” The Book of Mormon is so fundamental to our scripture, and it’s so fundamental to what it is to be a Latter-day Saint and to know we’re missing a substantial part of it is this bizarre, fascinating mystery. About 13 years ago, when I started on the research, the reason why I got into it actually is just that I wanted to understand the Book of Mormon text that we have. I recognized that the later parts of the Book of Mormon are written in such a way that they often echo or refer back to earlier parts, and if you don’t know what happened earlier – if you don’t know what was written earlier – it’s hard to understand what is being said later. I thought about that, and I thought, “Well, if we have Mormon’s abridgment – the later part – but we don’t have the earlier part, then we don’t fully understand what’s being said to us sometimes.” So I culled together all the evidence I could find from inside the Book of Mormon, from other sources, and everything that I could find written and published on the subject, which wasn’t much – we’re talking 15 to 20 pages of scholarship over nearly 200 years. That’s how I got started. Brian Hales: Almost nothing has been written on the lost 116 pages, and you are writing a book. People are just excited about it, so how do you come up with enough information to create an actual book. How long is this book going to be? [Jokes] Is it going to be a pamphlet? Don Bradley: I get that question. I have people say, “Isn’t that going to be a really short book?” Actually, no; it’s going to be surprisingly long – it’s surprising to me, in fact, how long it’s going to be. We’ve got multiple kinds of evidence for what was in the lost 116 pages. It might be natural to think that we don’t have much evidence, but we’ve actually got a good deal. Some of that evidence is in the Book of Mormon text that we already have. Broadly, there are these two kinds of evidence: there’s the internal evidence in the available text of the Book of Mormon – or what scholars call the “extant” text – and then there’s external evidence where we’ve got statements or other sources outside of the available text of the Book of Mormon. Internal evidence would be things like how the small plates of Nephi – from 1 Nephi through Omni or Words of Mormon – cover the same period Page 2 of 26 The Lost 116 Pages – Don Bradley as the lost pages. Even though the small plates are rather light on history, they give us at least a thumbnail sketch of what was in the lost 116 pages. Then you’ve also got echoes or flashbacks, if you will, later in the Book of Mormon text that are flashing back to an earlier narrative that we don’t have. A great example of this would be in Mosiah 11. King Noah, it says, built a tower on this hill that was north of the land Shilom. It says that when he built this tower, it was on the same hill that the children of Nephi had used as a resort – or a place of refuge – at the time they fled out of the land. Now what in the world is that talking about? You’re supposed to know what’s it’s talking about. You remember, don’t you, Brian,that the children of Nephi fled out of the land? Brian Hales: No, I don’t. Don Bradley: You don’t because it’s not in the Book of Mormon text that we have. You’re supposed to know it, though, which means it was in the Book of Mormon text; it was in the lost pages. So that, even though it’s about a missing story, gives us a clue – multiple clues, actually – about that story. Then we can combine that with evidence actually from the small plates – from Omni – and get a better picture of what that story is that it’s talking about. There are multiple flashbacks like that in the Book of Mormon text. Then you’ve got external evidence. In Joseph Smith’s earliest revelations, some of them also have allusions back to the lost pages. The most obvious of those is in section 10 of the Doctrine and Covenants where it actually says to Joseph Smith explicitly, “You’ll remember that it was said in what you translated before, that the plates of Nephi had a more extensive account of these things referring to the large plates.” We know there that the lost pages talked about how the large plates had a more extensive account. The lost pages were apparently an abridgement from the large plates. There are other clues also that are a little more subtle but identifiable in those very early revelations where it’s referring back to something – narratives that had come before that we don’t have. The most significant type of external evidence—there are a few others— is direct statements. The only one of these that’s been very widely known is by apostle Franklin D. Richards, who left an account that when he was in Nauvoo, he heard the prophet Joseph Smith explaining to someone how the Book of Mormon could be the stick of Ephraim. His explanation was that it said in the lost pages that although Lehi was a descendent of Manasseh, Ishmael was a descendent of Ephraim. Page 3 of 26 The Lost 116 Pages – Don Bradley There are other sources like that that give much more significant details than that. Sometimes they’re extra details about narratives that we already have and sometimes whole narratives that we don’t have – and we’ll talk about a couple of those sources later. Brian Hales: You’ve compiled information from the small plates, which would be 1 Nephi through Words of Mormon, then there are flashbacks in the rest of the Book of Mormon, external sources from the revelations, and then other external sources that we’re going to talk about. That’s exciting! Don Bradley: So on that question, Brian, about what it was that got me interested in the lost 116 pages, I have one more note on that. The lost 116 pages are actually the earliest LDS scripture. They’re the earliest scripture given to Joseph Smith in this dispensation. The earliest scripture after the lost pages is section 3 of the Doctrine and Covenants, given in summer of 1828. That’s given in response to the loss of the 116 pages. The 116 pages were before that. They were the foundational scripture, if you will, of the Restoration and they’re gone. That’s another thing that’s really intrigued me: wanting to understand what was in this earliest, first foundational scripture of the Restoration. Brian Hales: Okay, let’s just shift for a minute to the history.

  • Automatic Writing and the Book of Mormon: an Update
    ARTICLES AND ESSAYS AUTOMATIC WRITING AND THE BOOK OF MORMON: AN UPDATE Brian C. Hales At a Church conference in 1831, Hyrum Smith invited his brother to explain how the Book of Mormon originated. Joseph declined, saying: “It was not intended to tell the world all the particulars of the coming forth of the Book of Mormon.”1 His pat answer—which he repeated on several occasions—was simply that it came “by the gift and power of God.”2 Attributing the Book of Mormon’s origin to supernatural forces has worked well for Joseph Smith’s believers, then as well as now, but not so well for critics who seem certain natural abilities were responsible. For over 180 years, several secular theories have been advanced as explanations.3 The more popular hypotheses include plagiarism (of the Solomon Spaulding manuscript),4 collaboration (with Oliver Cowdery, Sidney Rigdon, etc.),5 1.

  • Martin Harris: the Kirtland Years, 18314870
    Martin Harris: The Kirtland Years, 18314870 H. Michael Marquardt MARTIN HARRIS IS KNOWN for being a Book of Mormon scribe, witness, and financier. However, little is known about his activities while living in Kirtland, Ohio, for over thirty-five years. This article will present what is known about Harris during the Kirtland years. Included will be his re- lationship to other Restoration churches under the leadership of James J. Strang (including Harris's mission to England), William E. McLellin, and so forth. A brief background of Harris's life in New York will also be given to help understand his place in the early life of the church. NEW YORK SEEKER Martin Harris was born on 18 May 1783 at Eastown, New York. He was a well-established farmer of Palmyra, Ontario (later Wayne) County, New York. At the age of twenty-six, Harris married his cousin Lucy; he was nine years her senior. They had a family of four known children. He became a close associate of Joseph Smith, Jr., whom he assisted finan- cially, and he acted as a scribe to Smith.1 He also financed the publication of the Book of Mormon by mortgaging his farm. As an early convert of Mormonism, he was received into fellowship by baptism on the day the church was organized. Due to the time and resources spent on his new re- ligion, Harris became partially separated from his wife, Lucy. Orsamus Turner, a printer in New York, described Harris thusly: Martin Harris, was a farmer of Palmyra, the owner of a good farm, and an honest worthy citizen; but especially given to religious enthusiasm, new creeds, the more extravagant the better; a monomaniac, in fact.2 1.

  • The First Vision Controversy: a Critique and Reconciliation*
    The First Vision Controversy: A Critique and Reconciliation* Marvin S. Hill EVER SINCE FAWN BRODIE WROTE NO Man Knows My History in 1946, em- phatically denying there was any valid evidence that Joseph Smith expe- rienced a visitation from the Father and the Son in 1820, an enormous amount of energy has been expended by both scoffers and Latter-day Saints to disprove or prove the first vision story. Until recently, both sides have agreed that the truth or untruth of Mormonism was at stake, and neither side has conceded merit to the opposing point of view.1 It is my purpose here to review the issues and arguments, and offer a critique and a tentative interpretation based on available evidence, hopefully rec- onciling some of the disagreements while also giving fair consideration to the various accounts written by Joseph Smith. Brodie argues that Joseph Smith fabricated his vision in 1838 when he began dictating his history, in order to provide a starting point for his prophetic career and to counter the charge that he was a money digger and charlatan-turned-prophet. She quotes part of the vision, noting that after a revival, at the age of fourteen, Joseph Smith said he sought divine guidance in a wooded grove: I kneeled down and began to offer up the desires of my heart to God. I had scarcely done so, when immediately I was seized upon by some power which entirely overcame me. .Thick darkness gathered around me. .at this moment of great alarm, I saw a pillar of light exactly over my head..

  • A Multiplicity of Witnesses Women and the Translation Process
    8 A Multiplicity of Witnesses Women and the Translation Process Amy Easton-Flake and Rachel Cope Amy Easton-Flake is an assistant professor of ancient scripture at Brigham Young University. Rachel Cope is an assistant professor of Church history and doctrine at Brigham Young University. our women in early Church history—Mary Musselman Whitmer, FLucy Mack Smith, Lucy Harris, and Emma Hale Smith—played sig- nifi cant roles in the coming forth of the Book of Mormon and off ered their own witnesses of the plates’ reality. While their names and narratives are well known, scholars and members of the Church have largely over- looked their powerful and important contributions to the work of transla- tion, since they were not a part of the offi cial three or eight witnesses. Th is chapter addresses this gap in scholarship and historical memory by look- ing at a variety of sources (both those that are frequently cited and those that have been largely neglected) that recount these women’s experiences with the plates. It considers the various ways in which they came to know of the plates’ temporality and divinity and shows the multiplicity of wit- nesses that emerge when we privilege ways of knowing and seeing beyond the visual. Evaluating these women’s memories of and interactions with the plates helps us to understand better the translation process and the truly communal eff ort it required. 134 Amy Easton-Flake and Rachel Cope Mary Musselman Whitmer Mary Whitmer1 has been referred to as the twelft h witness because her ex- perience with the plates parallels most closely that of the offi cial three and eight witnesses.2 She is the only known woman to have physically seen the plates, and her experience with them and her role in the translation process aptly illustrate the familial and communal eff ort that enabled the transla- tion of the Book of Mormon.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Performing Revelation: Joseph Smith and the Creation of The Book of Mormon A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Theater and Performance Studies by William Davis 2016 © Copyright by William Davis 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Performing Revelation: Joseph Smith’s Oral Performance of The Book of Mormon by William Davis Doctor of Philosophy in Theater and Performance Studies University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Michael Colacurcio, Co-Chair Professor Michael Hackett, Co-Chair In 1830, Joseph Smith Jr. published The Book of Mormon and subsequently founded a new American religion. According to Smith, The Book of Mormon represented the English translation of an authentic record, written in “Reformed Egyptian,” concerning ancient Israelites who migrated to the Americas in approximately 600 B.C.E. Smith’s purported translation of this sacred history, however, did not occur by traditional means. Rather than directly consulting the record and providing an English rendition, Smith employed a method of divination by placing a “seer stone” into the bottom of his hat, holding the hat to his face to shut out all light, and then he proceeded to dictate the entire text of The Book of Mormon in an extended oral performance, without the aid of notes or manuscripts. By his side, Smith’s scribes wrote down the entire text verbatim in the moment Smith uttered them. As a result, at over 500 printed pages, The Book of Mormon stands as one of the longest recorded oral performances in the history of the United States.
