Coreyb Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I wish someone would do a couple good biographies on Francis and Richard Lyman. I am pretty excited about Quinn's new book as well.

cinepro Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 We're the Council of Fifty minutes ever released? I remember hearing they'd be coming The Church will be publishing those in the Joseph Smith Papers: Regarding other plans in the Joseph Smith Papers Project, Elder Snow said a few days prior to this recent announcement that the First Presidency "has approved the Church History Department staff to use the Council of Fifty minutes as reference and footnote material in upcoming Joseph Smith Papers books and to eventually publish the minutes in full as a separate volume." Elder Snow explained that Joseph Smith established the Council of Fifty in March 1844. "The minutes of the council meetings, which have heretofore not been available for research, provide a new window into Joseph's prophetic view on government and the kingdom of God," he said. "Following Joseph's death, the council continued to meet under Brigham Young's leadership and played a key role in the planning for the trek west. Our historians have been working to prepare these important records for publication some time. We plan to publish the Nauvoo minutes of the Council of Fifty in the Administrative Records Series of the Joseph Smith Papers." http://www.ldschurchnewsarchive.com/articles/63917/Newest-volume-published-for-the-Joseph-Smith-Papers-Project.html

Brian 2.0 Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Is this what you meant? http://signaturebooks.com/2012/09/the-council-of-fifty-a-documentary-history/The Church will be publishing those in the Joseph Smith Papers: Are these the going to have the same content? Is the signature books version more complete than the JSPP one? or vice versa?
Calm Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) http://timesandseasons.org/index.php/2014/12/book-review-the-council-of-fifty-a-documentary-history/ The book is a collection of selections from publicly available documents that address the Council of Fifty: letters, diaries, journals, manuscripts, research notes, LDS historical documents. While the editor provides helpful footnotes and introductions, a reader who doesn’t have a degree of familiarity with names and places of 19th-century LDS history will be a bit lost. This probably eliminates 80% of the active LDS population but hopefully not many readers of this review…Missing: the official minutes. The book uses a lot of sources, but a few sources are still restricted. Some of these are slated to be published at some point as part of the Joseph Smith Papers. My impression is that most of what there is to know about the Council of Fifty is more or less evident from the sources presented in the new book. As the editor candidly notes in the Preface: “Some of the documents are still restricted from public view at the LDS Church History Library. … Readers of this volume deserve to know specifically what documents the church withheld from me: They are: the Nauvoo founding minutes and notes relating to the Council of Fifty; the council minutes kept in Utah Territory; some official council records such as roll books for the years 1845, 1849, 1867, 1868, 1880, and 1882; and extant diaries for Horace S. Eldredge, Heber J. Grant, Moses Thatcher, and Brigham Young Jr. Fortunately, much — although not all — of this material is available from other sources such as the transcripts historian D. Michael Quinn prepared in the 1970s when he was allowed to see the originals” (p. xiv-xv). Edited April 9, 2015 by calmoriah 3

cinepro Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Wow, I must be REALLY tired...thanks, No problem. Nothing like a good homonym! You even got the homonym double-down! 1
cinepro Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Got it. Thanks. We'll wait to see when the JSPP releases more. It is an interesting mystery. When the full minutes do finally get released is it going to be "Holy Cow!" or "Really, that's it?"
JLHPROF Posted April 9, 2015 Author Posted April 9, 2015 It is an interesting mystery. When the full minutes do finally get released is it going to be "Holy Cow!" or "Really, that's it?"It will be "Really, that's it?" from most members and scholars. It will be "Holy Cow!" from all the anti's reading about Joseph's plans to rule the earth! :vader:
Brian 2.0 Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) It is an interesting mystery. When the full minutes do finally get released is it going to be "Holy Cow!" or "Really, that's it?" Hoping for the former for excitement's sake, but I suspect the latter. Who here remembers watching Geraldo Rivera open Al Capone's secret vault live to TV to find... nothing.

Kaleb Webb Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 It's about time Quinn finished his third Hierarchy book
ERMD Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 I am presently reading "An Other Testament" by Joseph Spencer.
Tacenda Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 It's about time Quinn finished his third Hierarchy bookDBMormon has a recent podcast with Quinn, I thought was great. I guess his book was finished awhile ago, but took awhile to publish. He has another book in the works revolving around polygamy coming out, I don't know how long that one will take. 1
gmormon Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Just out of curiosity , has anybody heard anything about the 2nd volume of the Mountain Meadows book by Bro Turley ...?

Tacenda Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 Do you have a link for that? I can't find itIt's on Mormondiscussionspodcast, but you have to sign up to be a Premium subscriber for like 1.50 a month. He has free podcasts but not this one. I definitely think it's worth it. Or maybe it will be free after so long.
