AFFIDAVITS AND CERTIFICATES, DISPROVING THE STATEMENTS AND AFFIDAVITS CONTAINED IN JOHN C. BENNETT’S LETTERS

This single page double sided broadside pamphlet was printed and distributed to the region around Nauvoo to counter the accusations against Joseph Smith by John C Bennett. This is a re-composed copy of a broadsheet issued in 1842 by the Times and Seasons of Nauvoo, Illinois. The original document has ink showing through from one side to the other, making it difficult to read—witness the useful but barely legible photo reproduction distributed by Joseph Smith’s Rare Reprints of Independence, Missouri. It is also a rare document available only at the LDS Historical Department in Salt Lake City and the Beinecke Library at Yale University. Therefore, the current facsimile has been re-typeset for clarity and distribution among interested readers. Prepared from a typescript by H. Michael Marquardt, with care to retain original dimensions, typographical peculiarities, and orthography; proofed against a digital photograph. See Peter Crawley, A Descriptive Bibliography of the Mormon Church: Volume One, 1830-1847, entry 157. Produced by Signature Books, Salt Lake City, Utah, 2006.
