Return to Carthage: Writing the History of Joseph Smith's Martyrdom ByDeanC.Jessee A substantial part of Joseph Smith's History of the Church consists of an account of events surrounding the murder of the Mormon leader and his brother Hyrum at Carthage, Illinois, on June 27, 1844.1 Compared with the contemporary news reports of the Carthage tragedy, the pages of the History are lavish in particulars, giving actions and conversations of those involved with precise, hour-by-hour exactness. Considering the mid-1850s context in which this part of the History was written, the question arises, how was such a compre- hensive picture reconstructed and how accurate is it? The answer to these questions is a revealing chapter in nineteenth century Mormon historiography. Announcement of the killings of Joseph and Hyrum Smith appeared in the Nauvoo Neighbor on June 30, 1844, and was reported the next day in the Times and Seasons under the title, "Awful Assassination." Bearing the signatures of Willard Richards, John Taylor, and Samuel H. Smith, the announcement deplored the tragedy and briefly outlined the events that led to it. The papers also contained two statements written "at the request of the friends of Joseph and Hyrum Smith" by their attorneys, James W. Woods and Hugh T. Reid. The lawyers briefly reviewed the Carthage scene as they wit- nessed it — Woods after his arrival at Nauvoo from his Burlington, Iowa, law Dean C. Jessee is an associate professor of history and church history and senior research historian, Joseph Fielding Smith Institute for Church History, Brigham Young University. 'The period between June 10, 1844, when the Nauvoo City Council ordered the marshal to destroy the Nauvoo Expositor press, and June 27 when Joseph and Hyrum Smith were killed, is covered in the Joseph Smith History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, ed. B. H. Roberts, 6 vols. (Salt Lake City: Deseret Press, 1948), 6:432-622. Unless otherwise indicated, all sources are located in the LDS Church Archives, Salt Lake City, Utah. 4 Journal of Mormon History office on June 21, and Reid after arriving in Carthage from Fort Madison, Iowa, three days later. In addition to these statements, a July 15 Times and Seasons editorial gave tribute to the dead Mormon leaders but added little to the already-reported happenings at Carthage. Later in July, the Nauvoo Neighbor published Willard Richards's account of the last "two minutes" in the jail in which he described the killing of the Smiths and the wounding of John Taylor. The information contained in these contemporary announcements essen- tially reviewed the sequence of events during the last four days of Joseph Smith's life, beginning with his departure for Carthage on June 24 on a charge of riot growing out of the destruction of the Nauvoo Expositor press. With the exception of the statement attributed to Joseph, "I am going like a lamb to the slaughter, but I am calm as a summer's morning," etc.,2 these sources contained little of the personal dialogue and precise detail that later filled the pages of the History. How did it happen that a moment-by-moment narrative such as we find in the Carthage chapters of the History could be reconstructed from the meager sources available in 1844? The impression is almost one of history in reverse — the further we proceed from the event the more exact and abundant the information. At Joseph Smith's death, the History of the Church had been completed to August 5, 1838. Willard Richards, under whose direction the work continued thereafter, was able to bring the narrative to March 1843 before the exodus from Nauvoo disrupted his work. Eight years later, when writing on the History resumed, time and distance had imposed serious complications. Particularly frustrating was the 1854 death of Willard Richards, whose talented pen had been a guiding force behind the History, and whose close association with Joseph Smith had furnished the project with its most able mind.3 When George A. Smith was named historian in the place of the deceased Richards in April 1854, he found that delay in writing the History due to the migration across the plains had taken its toll of the source material. Many records are nearly obliterated by time damp and dirt. Others lost, some half worked into mouse nests, & many important events were never written except in the hearts of those who were concerned. Joseph said it would be impossible for any man ever to write his history. I am doing the best I can towards it.4 As George A. surveyed events of the last days of the Prophet's life, he found extensive gaps in the record. In addition to the news reports published at the time of the murders, there was on file a three-page journal by Jonathan Hale outlining the movements of the Nauvoo Legion between June 18 and July 7, 1844, and a few other documents. One of these was an affidavit, dated July 4, 1844, by William M. Daniels, 2Times and Seasons, July 15, 1844, p. 585. 3On the writing of Joseph Smith's History see Brigham Young University Studies 11 (Summer 1971):439—73.

  • 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.

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.

  • Lorin C. Woolley Biography
    "I Love to Hear Him Talk and Rehearse" The Life and Teachings of Lorin C. Woolley by Brian C. Hales Copyright 1993 Lorin C. Woolley became popular in the 1920s as a speaker among different groups of dissenters from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His acceptance was greatest among men and women who had been excommunicated for practicing polygamy. On one occasion Joseph White Musser, who had listened to him many times, recorded: "I love to hear him talk and rehearse."(1) During his lifetime, Lorin C. Woolley shared many fascinating stories with his listeners. THE IMPORTANCE OF LORIN C. WOOLLEY Since the Manifesto, the practice of polygamy outside of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has been advocated by a number of interesting and dedicated individuals. Many have served as leaders in their respective pseudo-church organizations. These men have demonstrated sincerity, charisma and commitment to their cause. They have endured persecution from external sources including suffering prison sentences. Nevertheless, none of their contributions to the practice of post-manifesto polygamy compares with the offering presented by Lorin C. Woolley. Through his recollections he provided his followers with access to a line of priesthood authority, ostensibly allowing them to eternally seal plural marriages. The Need for Legitimate Authority To understand why proper authority is so important, we recall the Lord's instructions concerning the sealing power restored to Joseph Smith: All covenants, contracts, bonds, obligations,

  • Essays on the Persecution of Religious Minorities by David Thomas Smith
    Essays on the Persecution of Religious Minorities by David Thomas Smith A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Political Science) in the University of Michigan 2011 Doctoral Committee: Professor William R. Clark, co-chair Professor Anna M. Grzymala-Busse, co-chair Professor Robert J. Franzese, Jr. Professor Andrei S. Markovits Professor Robert W. Mickey i Acknowledgements Throughout the last six and a half years I have benefited enormously from the mentorship and friendship of my wonderful dissertation committee members: Bill Clark, Anna Grzymala-Busse, Andy Markovits, Rob Mickey and Rob Franzese. I assembled this committee before I even knew what I wanted to write about, and I made the right choices—I cannot imagine a more supportive, patient and insightful group of advisers. They gave me badly-needed discipline when I needed it (which was all the time) and oversaw numerous episodes of Schumpeterian “creative destruction.” They also gave me more ideas than I could ever hope to assimilate, ideas which will be providing me with directions for future research for many years to come. But these huge contributions are minor in comparison to the fact that they taught me how to think like a political scientist. I couldn’t ask for anything more. All of these papers had trial runs in various internal workshops and seminars at the University of Michigan, and I profited greatly from the structured feedback that I received from the Michigan political science community, faculty and grad students alike. Thanks to everyone who was a discussant for one of these papers—Zvi Gitelman, Chuck Shipan, Sana Jaffrey, Cassie Grafstrom (twice!), Ron Inglehart, Ken Kollman, Allison Dale, Pam Brandwein, Andrea Jones-Rooy, Rob Salmond and Jenna Bednar.

  • WILFORD WOODRUFF's JOURNAL Kraut's PIONEER PRESS 7285
    WILFORD WOODRUFF'S JOURNAL Kraut's PIONEER PRESS 7285 Highland Drive Salt Lake City, Utah 84121 Typography by ANNE WILDE PREFACE Wilford Woodruff kept one of the most important journals in the early Church. Recorded within its pages are some of the greatest moments in the Church's history, much of which might otherwise have gone unrecorded. He was personally acquainted with the Prophet Joseph Smith, Brigham Young and John Taylor, and kept a faithful record of many of their private meetings and counsel. Here for the first time in print are selected out the choicest gems of doctrine and history as they were recorded by this great man. Davis Bitton, Assistant Church Historian, wrote the following about Wilford Woodruff's journal, which covered the years from 1834 to 1898: It is one of this monumental examples of personal record-keeping. From the time he joined the Church in 1833 and through his long, eventful life, Wilford Woodruff must have spent an hour a day on it, even more when the occasion required, carefully setting down his experiences and feelings. Since he lived through exciting times and was often close to the centers of activity, his ardent consistency in writing produced one of the magnificent primary sources for the history of the Church during the nineteenth century. There are hundreds of surviving personal records from the Saints of the past century. To some extent the practice continues to the present. * * * Probably no people, with the possible exception of the Puritans or the early Quakers, have been so mindful of personal records as have the Latter-day Saints.

  • The Assigned Theme for This Lecture Is “How My Scholarship Informs
    TRUTH IS REASON Robert Worrell—Department of English he assigned theme for this lecture is “How My Scholarship Informs TMy Theology.” That appears to be an invitation to bypass some of the formalities of academic writing and use the first person. The phraseology also seems to indicate that scholarship, in general, may impart information and give character to my personal theology, but it does not imply that scholarship informs theology in general. I am comfortable with that. In fact, the subjects I learn and teach in my academic discipline Academic subjects have made me aware of a number of connections and patterns in the have made me scriptures that, without scholarly study, would have remained hidden from me. Perhaps that happens because I am a student of language, and aware of a number the scriptures are written in language, but I think such experiences are of connections and not limited to people in the English Department. Nevertheless, in my case, insights have come as a result of studying and teaching literature, patterns in the and also as a result of studying and teaching writing. scriptures. For this occasion, I will focus on just one of the areas I have learned as a student of language. That area of scholarship is formal logic.I nterestingly, I have been acquainted with some academicians who laud scholarship but avoid formal logic with the same care they take to avoid salmonella poisoning. The contention is that they can “sense” when an argument is right or wrong, and they do not need to be encumbered with all of the tools and paraphernalia.
