I know little of LDSs, but one of my progenitors also split away from JS (but after the 1844 speech), forming the "Godbeites". On the surface he was denouncing polygamy, among other practices, but another reason was to open Utah to mining, which JS forbid. Like W. Law, W. S. Godbe resorted to publishing: the Utah Mining Gazette. This was to further his dream of opening up Utah to that industry. (The UMG later evolved into the Salt Lake City Tribune).
Cool history there!
I didn’t know this.
