The Last Days of Joseph Smith
<p>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.</p>

A Vision, a run for President of the United States, and Other Adventures
<p>Section 137 in the Doctrine and Covenants takes us back to the Kirtland Temple about 8 years previous and describes a vision of the afterlife by Joseph Smith. After this we get to the last year of Joseph Smith’s life. We see a few discourses that change doctrinal understanding for the Church as well as a volley of paperwork trying to protect Joseph Smith, more to try and keep the peace in Nauvoo, and more still for Joseph Smith’s run for President of the United States.</p>

Joseph is locked in a constant battle over extradition, the Avery brothers are kidnapped, and with some guy pulls a college prank to get Joseph to translate bogus characters.</p>
