NEW YORK EVENING POST, Sept. 1, 1832
* Extremely early article on the Mormons
Rare is it to find newspaper accounts of the Mormons in newspapers before 1835. And this issue is 3 years earlier than that, with a page 2 item headed: "Mormonism" and with the complete text shown in the photos below. The strong anti-Mormon sentiment which was growing at that time is quite evident, as the closing sentence reads: "Thus are people swindled of their property and drawn from their comfortable homes by ignorant fanatics." See the photos below for the complete article.
You get the complete 4 page newspaper which is in very nice condition.
A rare opportunity for one of the earliest Mormon accounts in a period newspaper.
