ISBN: 9781890718695

Dunn, Craig R. Like a Lamb to the Slaughter. Revisiting the Martyrdom of Joseph Smith. Eborn Books: 2019. 148 pages.

Governor Ford said this about the martyrdom:

Thus fell Joe Smith, the most successful impostor in modern times; a man who though ignorant and course, had some great natural parts, which fitted him for temporary success, but which were so obscured and countered by the inherent corruption and vices of his nature that he never could succeed in establishing a system of policy which looked to permanent success in the future.

It is to be feared that, in course of a century, some gifted man like Paul, some splendid orator, who will be able by his eloquence to attract crowds of the thousands who are ever ready to hear, and be carried away by the sounding brass and tinkling symbol of sparkling oratory, may command a hearing, may succeed in breathing a new life into this modern Mohometanism, and make the name of the martyred Joseph ring as loud, and stir the souls of men as much, as the mighty name of Christ itself. Sharon, Palmyra, Manchester, Kirtland, Far West, Adamon Diahmon, [Adam-ondi-Ahman]. Ramus, Nauvoo and the Carthage Jai, may become holy and venerable names, places of classic interest, in another age; like Jerusalem, the Garden of Gethsemane, the Mount of Olives, and the Mount Calvary to the Christian, and Mecca and Medina to the Turk. And in that event, the author of this History feels degraded by the reflection, that the humble governor of an obscure state, who would otherwise be forgotten in a few years, stands a fair chance like Pilot and Herod, by their official connection to the true religion, of being dragged down to posterity with an immortal name in history, even in those humbling terms. I am not one of that number.
