Not terribly familiar with Smith or the Mormon religion. Please enlighten me. I know about the polygamy stuff. Is there something else?
I like Mark Twain's take on it since he was closer to the events. This does not discuss the kidnapped wives, daughters and sisters along the way but it does touch on the fact that Mormans have always hated with a burning passion the United States of America and all of us so called "Gentiles" who they feel persecuted them through time.
ROUGHING IT, By Mark Twain — APPENDIX A — BRIEF SKETCH OF MORMON HISTORY.
Taking other mens’ wives. Marrying underage girls. Starting a bank that issued worthless paper notes and leaving in the middle of the night to escape his creditors. Using devices to find hidden treasure for a fee. Destroying a man’s printing press.
