BYU Studies Journal, volume 48, no. 1 (complete journal)
John W. Welch
In
BYU Studies issue 48.1, Morris Thurston writes about Joseph Smith’s
most famous legal case: he was tried as an accessory to the attempted
murder of former Missouri Governor Lilburn W. Boggs. Joseph’s trial
caused quite a sensation in Springfield, Illinois, and newspapers far
and wide gave the case headline status.
Another article
discusses missionary work in early Victorian England: the story of
explosive baptism rates in parts of England in the 1840s is well known;
what was the story in other parts of England? How did missionary work
proceed there? Author Ron Bartholomew looks at one county,
Buckinghamshire.
Another piece of this issue discusses the
hymn writing of early Church scribe Frederick G. Williams, written by
his descendant, Fred Williams.
Also in this issue are photos
of mission life in exotic Tonga in the 1930s, by Colleen Whitley, and a
discussion of Mormon film on the Internet, by film critic Randy Astle.
