Visit Highlight  |
| On our visit to the Old John Adams House in Quincy (Peacefield), the park ranger saw our mission name tags and said she had something we would probably be interested in. She showed this picture and talked about the Book of Mormon given to Charles Francis Adams by the Prophet Joseph Smith on Charles' visit to Nauvoo. See the attached website for more information: Emma Smith’s Copy of the 1841 Book of Mormon Found - Church News and Events |
 |
| Notice this was "Emma Smith's" personal engraved copy |
 |
| The ranger told us that our church leaders told the Park Service that only 16 Books of Mormon were known to have been personally signed by Joseph Smith. ?? |
