Transcription

[Hales reviews the evidence for the claim that Joseph Smith was tarred and feathered in 1832 for having a sexual relationship with Marinda Johnson; he concludes that claim is unlikely as it is not supported by good evidence; he proposed instead that the primary motivation of the mob was religious and economic in nature.]
