Ex Mormon #12

It's been a hard two weeks for our family. Just when you think life is as hard as it can get, it throws you to another new place that you thought you'd never be in. And we continue to live and learn. Because of the sensitive nature of what happened, I won't disclose what has happened at this time. 

Today, I am presenting information about a man named Joseph H. Jackson.  He is mentioned as a cold-blooded murderer by the LDS church Historian Richard Lyman Bushman, in his book Rough Stone Rolling, page 539.

Well, I have read the narrative that Bushman uses as his source to make such a claim. From the Sources Sited page in the back of the book, we see the notation of the source. Apart from calling Bushman an outright liar, I am providing the link to the narrative for you to check out the facts for yourself. Jackson is not the murderer. However, Joseph Smith is the man behind the curtain calling for all of the murders.

Read for yourself. Lucky for us, the narrative has been published online. Check it out.  Direct link is at the bottom of the page. Blogger is giving me trouble.
