In this episode, David talks about Joseph’s recovery of the golden “Book of Mormon” plates, largely through the eyes of the first people to receive the record into their home—Joseph’s own family.

Notes:

— I like this statement from William Smith: “All believed it was true, father, mother, brothers and sisters. You can tell what a child is. Parents know whether their children are truthful or not. The proof of the pudding is not in chewing the string, but in eating the pudding. Father knew his child was telling the truth.” Source: “The Old Soldier’s Testimony,” sermon by William Smith, June 8, 1884 (reported by C. E. Butterworth), published in Saints Herald, Oct. 4, 1884, pg. 643.

— This source (link below) suggests that Joseph left the plates in the birch log for about 10 days, though other sources disagree with that estimate. Lucy Mack Smith seems to suggest a much shorter time span. The same source also estimates that Joseph recovered the plates from a spot on the hill about 30 to 40 “rods” from the road (Canandaigua Rd.). Keep in mind that this is an antagonistic, non-first-hand source that contradicts some other accounts. It should be read with a healthy amount of skepticism. Source: https://bit.ly/3TwXAJv

— Joseph likely took Canandaigua Rd. (Route 21 S) when bringing the plates home, but soon left the road (for safety reasons) and traveled through the woods.

— Lucy Mack Smith adds the interesting detail that after the plates had been brought home, Joseph “commenced work with his Father on the farm in order to be near the treasure that was commited to his care….” Source: https://bit.ly/3neccSg
