[President Heber J. Grant Diary] I then went into Brother Widtsoe's office and had a talk with him and Brother Wilford Wood. Much to my sorrow Brother Wood has gathered a lot of information that reflects very seriously on Joseph Smith the Prophet's wife's actions just previous to his murder. I shall live in hopes that she may be able to clear herself. I am glad we are not going to publish what we have learned.

Is there (or was there) any evidence at what and where that "lot of information" might be?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what specifically this was. I suspect it had to do with her opposition to polygamy.
ReplyDeleteThe best place to look is probably the biography on the Hale Smith called Mormon Enigma.
