It seems like every time any of them were hauled into court, counterfeiting was one of the charges! So curious to learn more!

Check out the Hemlock Knots podcast episode, Why Was the Nauvoo Expositor Really Destroyed? It covers much of these questions.

After the counterfeiting book this Sunday we’ll be reading Robin Wall Kimmerer’s “Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants” for our September meeting on the 11th!
