Filling in the History

An Amateur Historian who found the time to read the Joseph Smith Papers fills in the gaps, tells the rest of the story, and hopefully gives some understanding to Latter-day Saint history and early American life.

Currently Playing: Filling in the History - Ep 39 Part 4 - Brothers Brawl, The Book of Abraham, and Section 108

The mummies from Michael Chandler show up in Ohio and Joseph Smith eventually buys them and translates papyri found in the caskets. These are displayed for the public and the manuscript of those translations becomes the Book of Abraham. William and Joseph Smith have a serious physical brawl where Joseph is sorely hurt, but recovers. We also get Section 108. Enjoy.
