Martin Harris made the most significant contribution to the early establishment and growth of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints when he mortgaged his farm to help pay for the printing and binding of the first 5000 copies of the Book of Mormon.

While some things remain unconfirmed, the archaeological evidence trends favorably for the Book of Mormon. This ongoing trend shows that God’s promise to the Three Witnesses continues to be fulfilled today and increasing archaeological evidence supports the Book of Mormon. It also gives people today reason to exercise faith when confronting unanswered questions about ancient scripture. Read more at:

Latter-day Saints and all friends of truth today should likewise appreciate, celebrate, and strive to emulate the important contributions of the Knight family, offering their time, talents, and resources in establishing “the cause of Zion,” as the righteous are fortunately commissioned by the Lord to do.

In 1825, Joseph Smith and his father Joseph Sr. were hired by a man named Josiah Stowell to help dig for treasure in an old Spanish silver mine. Stowell hired Joseph specifically upon hearing of a miraculous gift he possessed to see the unseen. In 1826, Peter Bridgeman, one of Stowell's nephews, charged Joseph Smith with being a "disorderly person"--a charge issued against many people including those that pretended to see treasure by magical means to defraud people of their money--and brought him to court in Bainbridge, New York. This charge and subsequent court trial has brought on speculation by many critics intent on showing Joseph Smith was a con artist and thus undermining his credibility in claiming that he received divine direction to translate an ancient record of scripture, to establish a church, and so forth. This KnoWhy examines the relevant historical documents and demonstrates, upon examining all available evidence about the trial, that Joseph Smith was likely acquitted of the charge.

When Moroni visited Joseph Smith on the night of September 21, 1823, he did more than just tell him about “a book deposited, written upon gold plates,” though that was the primary purpose of his visit (Joseph Smith—History 1:34). He also quoted various biblical prophecies, indicating that they were soon to be fulfilled (JS—H 1:36–40). Among those prophecies was Malachi 3–4, but Joseph remembered that when quoting Malachi 4, there was “a little variation from the way it reads in our Bibles” (JS—H 1:36). https://knowhy.bookofmormoncentral.org/knowhy/why-did-moroni-quote-malachi-about-elijahs-coming

By 1820, religious freedom had been spreading and developing in America for nearly two hundred years. These centuries worth of developments increasingly allowed people to follow their own religious conscience. These legally granted religious freedoms made the Restoration possible. https://knowhy.bookofmormoncentral.org/knowhy/why-was-it-easy-to-join-a-church-in-joseph-smiths-day
