This has been posted and re-posted, it is old news.
Why don’t you post something about the Governors of these two States of Missouri and Illinois posting bounties for the scalps of any Mormon, man, woman or child that is truly barbaric. Their only crime was being of the LDS Faith. LOOK IT UP!
Respectfully, do you have a historical source for that claim?
The only time I've ever seen the claim was in the book of Mormon lore called "In the Company of Angels," which claimed that the Illinois Legislature (not Governor) enacted the bounty in 1846. The book cited no source for the claim.
I've never seen the claim made in any book of Mormon or American history by an LDS historian, and I've certainly never seen the text of either of the two bounties you allege.
Probably because they don't exist dewey.
Dewey, you've made a serious accusation and I asked politely for reference link to support this claim. You have not responded.
As an amateur 25+ year student of LDS history, I do not believe this claim is true. I believe it's a claim that's been made up to support LDS exaggerations of persecution. I'm not saying that you are lying; I'm just suggesting that you may be repeating LDS lore that you've been told, but that has no basis in fact.
If you have any sources, preferably a reliable source, for this claim, then I would appreciate adding it to my knowledge bank. Otherwise, I looked it up and find no basis for your claim.
