We recently received an email from a Mormon that stated, “Try as you might, you cannot refute the testimonies of the three and eight witnesses found in every copy of the Book of Mormon.  They saw what they saw and bore witness of it, and nothing you write to the contrary can alter the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon, of the testimonies of its witnesses, and of the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ through the Prophet Joseph Smith.”  Indeed, much weight is given to the testimony of the three and eight witnesses, which preface every Book of Mormon. Another Mormon wrote to us saying, “I am amazed that not one of the three witnesses of the Book of Mormon ever denied his testimony of seeing the gold plates and the angel Moroni.”  Given this input, let’s examine the testimony of the three and eight witnesses.

What does this have to do with the subject?

Post 115 was adapted from Chapter 16 of Mark Twain's early travelogue Roughing It, part of which was spent in pioneer-era Salt Lake City.

It's a fun read for anyone interested in the history of the West, although determining what portions Mr. Clemens wrote were true, what were exaggerated, and what were completely made up are a mystery to many general readers.

Chapter 24, the account of the "Mexican Plug", is considered to be one of the finest pieces of humor he wrote.
