185 years ago today - Circa Jun 28, 1829

Oliver Cowdery, David Whitmer, and Martin Harris are shown the plates by an angel . David Whitmer said the event occurred in the "latter part" of June 1829 . Whitmer told Edward Stevenson that the vision occurred on a "Sunday" about 11:00 a.m., perhaps 28 June . Whitmer also said he was shown the plates "shortly before the completion of the translation when but a few pages left".
