Morain xi The editor reviews forty years of the contents of theJohn Whitmer Histori- cal Association Journal. Mormonism, Mitt Romney, and Race in the 2012 Presidential Campaign Newell G. Bringhurst 1 Newell Bringhurst addresses two key questions concerning Governor Mitt Romney’s 2012 Presidential campaign: (1) How much did Romney’s Mor- mon religion and its troubling race history hurt Romney among African American voters? (2) How much did Romney’s performance as a candi- date influence African Americans to vote overwhelmingly for President Obama? President Obama’s RLDS Ancestor: Roots of a World Leader Were Nurtured in Deloit, Iowa Velton Peabody 16 Velton Peabody traces the lineage of RLDS member Anna Childress, great-great-great grandmother of President Barack Obama through five direct generations, exhibiting a veritable kaleidoscope of occupations, re- ligions, personalities, and behaviors so distinctive of the American social spectrum. Table of Contents ix J. Charles Jensen: Homosexual Friend of David H. Smith Lewis Weigand 44 Drawing largely on existent letters from David Smith to his friend J. Charles Jensen, Lewis Weigand reviews the evidence that Jensen most likely was of same-sex orientation. The Writings of Oliver H. Olney: Early Mormon Dissident; Would-be Reformer Richard G. Moore 58 Richard Moore rigorously chronicles the dissident activities of Oliver Olney, who viewed Joseph Smith Jr., and his Nauvoo confidants as licen- tious, greedy, elitist and power-hungry. Disfellowshipped, bitter, penu- rious, and unable to persuade others of his own mystic visions, Olney disappeared from Nauvoo shortly before Smith was murdered. “Marshaled and Disciplined for War”: A Documentary Chro- nology of Conflict in Hancock County, Illinois 1839–1845 William Shepard 79 William Shepard provides a detailed chronicle of events relating to con- flicts between Mormons and anti-Mormons in Hancock County, Illi- nois, over six critical years. He discusses the conflicting cultures, politi- cal intolerances, and nuclei of violence that led to the inevitable dénoue- ment. The Role of “Prophet”: Variability within the Smith-Rigdon Movement Steven L. Shields 132 Steven Shields outlines the various understandings of “prophet” among the various factions arising from Mormonism’s diaspora, with special emphasis on the Church of Christ (Temple Lot). William T. Blue: A Lonely Spokesman for Black Saints William D. Russell 144 William Russell describes the struggle for equal rights of African Amer- icans in LDS and RLDS denominations with particular attention to RLDS elder William Blue, whose many indignities suffered over the years did not deter his commitment to his church. x THE JOHN WHITMER HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION JOURNAL Perla Wild, Foe of Women’s Silence Dan Kelty 167 Dan Kelty traces the eventful life of nineteenth-century RLDS writer “Perla Wild,” whose puzzles, poetry, uplifting short stories, and passion- ate arguments graced the pages of RLDS publications for nearly thirty years despite difficult personal sacrifices.

Shields 206 EDITOR’S NOTE Our Legacy in Print William D. Morain On the wall of the Surgery Library where I trained years ago there hung a yel- lowed sign reading: We see only what we look for. We look for only what we know. Curious about what we at the John Whitmer Historical Association have been knowing, seeing, and looking for over our forty years of existence, I recently sat down to review the articles appearing on the Table of Contents of every single back issue of the John Whitmer Historical Association Journal to find out. While the more theologi- cal papers presented at meetings saw print in other venues, particularly Restoration Studies, the list should fairly reflect the historical content of JWHA meetings. Though there have been some trends in certain subject areas, a steady under- lying pattern has predominated over the years. As might be expected, the greatest number of articles were those related to the earliest days of the Mormon movement, forty-four papers in all. Close behind at forty-three were biographies, twenty-five of LDS figures and eighteen of RLDS. Next at twenty-eight were a growing series of thoughtful papers related to recent developments in the evolution of RLDS/Com- munity of Christ historiography, liturgy, and schism. Papers on Joseph Smith Jr., were tied with early articles on RLDS history at eighteen, followed by manuscripts on historiographic topics at seventeen. Articles on Mormon denominations other than the two largest followed at sixteen, along with contrasts/comparisons between LDS and RLDS groups at fifteen. Women’s issues showed the greatest increase in publication over the past decade with ten papers in all. A handful of topics appearing less frequently included current LDS matters, polygamy, the Book of Mormon, and racial issues, among others. The most recent additions to the list included hymnody, same-sex issues, DNA analysis, and Mitt Romney. In general, papers on LDS topics have increased proportionally over time, re- flecting expanding membership and participation on the part of LDS colleagues. And much scholarly work has been represented on the part of several senior authors xi xii THE JOHN WHITMER HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION JOURNAL whose consistent pursuits in specific research areas has been part of a lifetime focus of interest. But nowhere did I see evidence, in the titles at least, of personal animus or uncivil confrontation of one participant against another. We’ll leave that to Congress and continue doing things our own way. Mormonism, Mitt Romney, and Race in the 2012 Presidential Campaign Newell G.

  • The Current Restoration in Nauvoo, Illinois T
    THE CURRENT RESTORATION IN NAUVOO, ILLINOIS T. EDGAR L\JiN THE FOUNDING OF THE CITY Approximately 250 miles southwest of Chicago and 150 miles north of St. Louis lies Nauvoo, Illinois. At this place the Mississippi River rather abruptly pushes itself into Iowa and then returns again to its generally southward course. Within the arc thus formed by the westward protrusion of the river are more than a thousand acres of land, the southwestern por- tion of which is quite level. On this "Flat" stood the city of Nauvoo as it was originally surveyed. Because of the curve of the Mississippi here, old Nauvoo's Main Street was once described by Robert Ripley in one of his "Believe it or Not" features as the only straight Main Street in the world having the same river at both ends. The modern city of Nauvoo is located to the east, upon bluffs which rise nearly seventy feet above the old city. On this land,^ encircled by the river on three sides, the Sac and Fox In- dians established a large agricultural village in the days preceding the settle- ment of Illinois by white men. To this locality the Indians gave the name Quashquema, in honor of one of their chiefs. Following the designation of much of the land between the Illinois and the Mississippi Rivers as bounty lands for the veterans of the War of 1812, the Indians were moved westward into Iowa. (It was this expulsion of the Indians from their Illinois villages which led to the Black Hawk War in the 1830's.) White settlers then established homes and farms near Quashquema.

  • Joseph Smith Ill's 1844 Blessing Ana the Mormons of Utah
    Q). MicAael' J2umw Joseph Smith Ill's 1844 Blessing Ana The Mormons of Utah JVlembers of the Mormon Church headquartered in Salt Lake City may have reacted anywhere along the spectrum from sublime indifference to temporary discomfiture to cold terror at the recently discovered blessing by Joseph Smith, Jr., to young Joseph on 17 January 1844, to "be my successor to the Presidency of the High Priesthood: a Seer, and a Revelator, and a Prophet, unto the Church; which appointment belongeth to him by blessing, and also by right."1 The Mormon Church follows a line of succession from Joseph Smith, Jr., completely different from that provided in this document. To understand the significance of the 1844 document in relation to the LDS Church and Mormon claims of presidential succession from Joseph Smith, Jr., one must recognize the authenticity and provenance of the document itself, the statements and actions by Joseph Smith about succession before 1844, the succession de- velopments at Nauvoo after January 1844, and the nature of apostolic succes- sion begun by Brigham Young and continued in the LDS Church today. All internal evidences concerning the manuscript blessing of Joseph Smith III, dated 17 January 1844, give conclusive support to its authenticity. Anyone at all familiar with the thousands of official manuscript documents of early Mormonism will immediately recognize that the document is written on paper contemporary with the 1840s, that the text of the blessing is in the extraordinar- ily distinctive handwriting of Joseph Smith's personal clerk, Thomas Bullock, that the words on the back of the document ("Joseph Smith 3 blessing") bear striking similarity to the handwriting of Joseph Smith, Jr., and that the docu- ment was folded and labeled in precisely the manner all one-page documents were filed by the church historian's office in the 1844 period.

  • The Mormons Are Coming- the LDS Church's
    102 Mormon Historical Studies Nauvoo, Johann Schroder, oil on tin, 1859. Esplin: The Mormons are Coming 103 The Mormons Are Coming: The LDS Church’s Twentieth Century Return to Nauvoo Scott C. Esplin Traveling along Illinois’ scenic Highway 96, the modern visitor to Nauvoo steps back in time. Horse-drawn carriages pass a bustling blacksmith shop and brick furnace. Tourists stroll through manicured gardens, venturing into open doorways where missionary guides recreate life in a religious city on a bend in the Mississippi River during the mid-1840s. The picture is one of prosper- ity, presided over by a stately temple monument on a bluff overlooking the community. Within minutes, if they didn’t know it already, visitors to the area quickly learn about the Latter-day Saint founding of the City of Joseph. While portraying an image of peace, students of the history of Nauvoo know a different tale, however. Unlike other historically recreated villages across the country, this one has a dark past. For the most part, the homes, and most important the temple itself, did not peacefully pass from builder to pres- ent occupant, patiently awaiting renovation and restoration. Rather, they lay abandoned, persisting only in the memory of a people who left them in search of safety in a high mountain desert more than thirteen hundred miles away. Firmly established in the tops of the mountains, their posterity returned more than a century later to create a monument to their ancestral roots. Much of the present-day religious, political, economic, and social power of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints traces its roots to Nauvoo, Illinois.

  • Dominicus Carter
    DOMINICUS CARTER LATTER-DAY PIONEER By Barton L. Carter Dedicated to – and in memory of – his great-grandson, John Deloy Carter, who was always proud of his Carter heritage. The question was once asked of me. “Why should I be concerned with the lives of ancestors beyond my memory or out of my experience?” Why, indeed, should anyone concern himself with those long dead? Said Helaman to his sons, Nephi and Lehi: “Behold, my sons, . I have given unto you the names of our first parents who came out of the land of Jerusalem; and this I have done that when you remember your names ye may remember them; and when ye remember them ye may remember their works; and when ye remember their works ye may know how that it is said, and also written, that they were good. “Therefore, my sons, I would that ye should do that which is good, that it may be said of you, and also written, even as it has been said and written of them.” Book of Mormon, Helaman 5:6-7 ©1997 by Barton L. Carter, 2599 East Hidden Canyon Lane Sandy, Utah 84092 Dominicus Carter, our great progenitor, was one of the tens of thousands who a hundred and fifty years ago came to these valleys to claim the Zion that nobody else wanted. We have but few of his words and thoughts but his works stand as testimony of his great faith and unfailing zeal for the establishment of Zion and the Kingdom of God. He was the friend of the prophets of the restoration.

TilE VIETNAM WAR ON TRIAL: TilE COURT-MARTIAL OF DR. HOWARD B. LEVY ROBERT N. STRASSFELD• This Article examines the history of a Vietnam War-era case: the court-martial of Dr. Howard B. Levy. The U.S. Army court-martialled Dr. Levy for refusing to teach medicine to Green Beret soldiers and for criticizing both the Green Berets and American involvement in Vietnam. Although the Supreme Court eventually upheld Levy's convicti on in Parkerv. Levy, ill decision obscures the political content of Levy's court-martial and its relationshipto the war. At the court-martialLe vy sought to defend himself by showing that his disparaging remarks about the Green Berets, identifying them as "killers of peasants and murderers of women and children," were true and that his refusal to teach medicine to Green Beret soldiers was dictated by medical ethics, given the ways in which the soldiers would misuse their medical knowledge.
