In Mormonism there is a common narrative that it took Joseph Smith "sixty-five working days" to dictate the Book of Mormon, but does this paint an accurate picture of the creation of the book? What if by presenting just two sources, the timeline could be extended? What if it was extended by over ten years?

By using Lucy Mack Smith's history as well as Joseph Smith's 1832 history, we get a more accurate picture of the creation (not just dictation) of the Book of Mormon.

Joseph Fielding Smith taught us that Joseph Smith no longer used the Urim and Thummim after the organization of the Church and that it was taken back to heaven. However, in a source from Jane Manning James, we hear of a different story.

Captain William Kidd (or Robert Kidd) was a Scottish privateer. He was likely born in Dundee and later settled in New York City. But 1690, Kidd had become a highly successful privateer, commissioned to protect English interests in North America and the West Indies. In 1695, Kidd received a royal commission to hunt down pirates and enemy French ships in the Indian Ocean. Later, England turned against him and he was denounced as a pirate. He was arrested upon his return to Boston and stood trial in London. He was found guilty and hanged in 1701. Because of his quick arrest, many believed that Kidd hid or buried his hoards of treasure and sought to uncover it. Among those who hunted for Kidd's treasure was the man who would later be called the founder of the Mormon Church: Joseph Smith.

Join Julia and America as they discuss the sources connecting Joseph Smith's to Captain Kidd's buried treasure.
