First Presidency and Apostles meet while "a number of the brethren stood guard outside. . . . It was decided we would form a colony in Old Mexico by unanimous vote of those present . . " This is during time of severe prosecutions for violations of anti-polygamy laws by U.S. officials.

    Has anyone else noticed that the Journal History online is no longer accessible? This entry would have been included there.

    "The years of 1830-1923 are available ... digitally"

    not any more!

    my hunch is that they are going to start charging a fee now to download any of this material, say $10 per download?

    another more probable scenario is that the Jour.Hist. material will be available only by request and only to researchers with proper credentials.

    $7-$10 per month-year per download? No. Better yet would be 6 e-books:

    Vol.1 = 1830-1860
    Vol.2 = 1861-1889
    Vol.3 = 1890-1923
    Vol.4 = 1924-1945
    Vol.5 = 1946-1978
    Vol.6 = 1979-2005
