I am collecting missionary stories for a folklore project. Personal stories. Legends. etc. Over the next week or so I will be tweeting 10 ?s from what I am calling a "Mass Returned Missionary Interview." If you served a Latter-day Saint mission, I would love your reply.

Martha Ann Knight was the daughter of Newt & Rachel Knight, leaders of an informal band who harassed Confederate supply lines during the Civil War. Barred from school because of her race, she went on to join the LDS in 1882 & own land. Meet Martha here:

Joseph Smith's 1832 History is often cited as an example of the LDS Church hiding its past. Every time I hear this I get annoyed--but not for the reasons you might think. So, a (very) long thread for those who want to think critically about access and LDS archival records: 1/?

A fabulous publication history of the historical works of Andrew Jenson, thank you Robin!

Happy Friday! What better way to start off the weekend than with a fun #bookhistory thread. /1

I'm thrilled to announce that I am putting together a conference in honor of D. Michael Quinn that will take place at the University of Utah on March 25, 2022. There will be panels that discuss Quinn as a historical figure as well as his scholarly legacies. /1

MHA is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Curt Bench, who died this a.m. from an aneurism. Founder of @BenchmarkBooks & a longtime supporter, participant, & exhibitor at MHA, Curt’s sense of humor & enthusiasm for friends, books, & Mormon history will be dearly missed.

In 1848, Betsy Fluellen made the pioneer trek to Utah as an enslaved 11-year-old child, separated from any family that she may have known. She died in Provo, Utah over 50 yrs later at the state mental hospital. She too was a LDS pioneer.

Meet Betsy here:

De Pillis: to understand Mormonism, we must spend more attention on the spiritual life of average Latter Day Saints. #jwha14
