Stephen Smoot & Brian Passantino--"Joseph Smith's Uncanonized Revelations" (Benchmark Books, 6/6/24) 

A few factual corrections to the Q&A remarks: - The dream Joseph Smith had regarding his farm is available in "Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith," page 393. It wasn't based on any recollection by Oliver B. Huntington. The original account of the dream comes from a letter by Cyrus Wheelock to George A. Smith, dated December 29, 1854. Wheelock's report of this dream was subsequently copied into the Manuscript History that later became the DHC, and eventually made its way into TPJS. I wouldn't call it "purported" or "apocryphal" because Cyrus Wheelock was there with Joseph Smith in Carthage Jail and his letter was considered authoritative by the Church Historians. - Although the precise text of the White Horse Prophecy is certainly questionable, there is a much earlier statement recorded by Howard and Martha Coray in "Words of Joseph Smith," Appendix B, by Andrew F. Ehat and Lyndon W. Cook (1980). In this statement, Joseph was reported to have said that, *"Even this Nation will be on the very verge of crumbling to pieces and tumbling to the ground and when the Constitution is upon the brink of ruin this people will be the Staff up[on] which the Nation shall lean and they shall bear away the constitution away from the very verge of destruction" (WJS 416).* Another reminiscent summary by James Burgess of a separate sermon says: "In the month of May 1843. Several miles east of Nauvoo. The Nauvoo Legion was on parade and review. At the close of which Joseph Smith made some remarks upon [...] *the constitution and government of the United States stating that the time would come when the Constitution and Government would hang by a brittle thread and would be ready to fall into other hands but this people the Latter day Saints will step forth and save it. General Scott and part of his staff on the American Army was present on the occasion. I James Burgess was present and testify to the above." (WJS 279)* Since Burgess and the Corays were contemporaneous scribes of other JS sermons, these statements suggest that Joseph made utterances which at least adumbrated the basic premise of the White Horse Prophecy. - Joseph Smith's poetic rendition of D&C 76 was NOT composed by W.W. Phelps. It was composed by Joseph Smith himself as part of a poem-contest between Phelps and himself (see DHC 5:288), and is printed with Joseph Smith's signature at the end of it in Times and Seasons, vol. 4, no. 6, pages 82-85.

When you lie about the plural marriage, you lose your credibility. I just looked up Sarah Ann Whitney in the Joseph Smith Papers. The blessing does not discuss "their " marriage. I found a blessing to Joseph Kingsberry the same day in March. I scrolled down and found a Marriage Certificate for Joseph Kingsbury and Sarah Ann Whitney, 29 April 1843.
