Here is a must read for everybody, the most evenhanded account I’ve seen from a Mormon.

Thanks for the interesting link. I enjoyed reading Ebenezer Robinson’s account. He was an eyewitness to many events in the early history of the LDS church. Some of those events included one of my ancestors who ended up spending the winter of 1838-39 in the Liberty Jail with Joseph Smith.
