The Amateur Historian uses the Joseph Smith Papers to explore the Doctrine and Covenants and early Latter-day Saint history.
What leads a group of people to organize themselves enough to kill a man? The history of the summer of 1844 gives a few insights to the circumstances in Missouri, Illinois, and within the Church that led Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum to a jail in Carthage, Illinois along with John Taylor and Willard Richards. The jail was attacked, Joseph and Hyrum were killed by a mob while being left to fend for themselves with little protection. We finalize Filling in the History by showing what led to this moment as well as the details of what happened when John Taylor was shut multiple times and Joseph and Hyrum Smith were murdered in the summer of 1844.
