How can historical record of where the Mormons went be “bias and speculation”?
It is the extra opinions and nuances, surmises that is the bias and speculation!
Such as hacked off etc that is telestial behavior saying things to demean and are inconclusive, just because the person could and did something that was over the line!
because one don't like something one thinks they can trash it all they want with out regards if it really accurate.
The bias and speculation claim gets trotted out whenever an even cursory examination gets aired.
I suspect that the attitude that Christians have towards the LDS is largely generated from the claim that they are Christian and that we are not.
Because that is ALL them wimps in SLC can do, when their un-faithfullness is brought into the light!
WE; the FUNDAMENTALIST LDS; correctly follow our Scriptures and do NOT shy away from the supposed ALL powerful governments of MAN!

They went to Ohio, then Missouri, then back to Illinois, and then when JS got shot, they split up into the Smith family Company (called Reorganized LDS) and the Brigham Young Brigade (who maintained the original name).
The Smith family headed to Independence, Missouri and many different offshoots went their separate ways including many of the folks back East, in Wisconsin, Kentucky, and Texas.
I'm sure you can see the difference between a "historical record" and "bias and speculation".
