140 years ago today - Jun 17, 1883

Erastus Snow reported that the angel accused the Prophet of "being neglectful in the discharges of his duties [regarding polygamy]" and spoke "of Joseph having to plead on his knees before the Angel for his Life."

[Erastus Snow quoted in A. Karl Larson and Katherine Miles Larson, Diary of Charles Lowell Walker, 2 Volumes, Utah State University Press, Logan, Utah, 1980, 2:611, entry for June 17, 1883, at Exploring Mormonism: Polygamy Timeline, http://www.exploringmormonism.com/polygamy-timeline/]
