November 15, 1845
NILES' NATIONAL REGISTER, Baltimore, Nov. 15, 1845 The back page has an item noting: "Emma Smith, the widow of the deceased prophet, claims at least a wife's portion of her late husband's worldly gear, including, it is said, besides the Temple itself at Nauvoo, large and valuable tracts of land in Illinois, for Joseph was suspected of having a hawk's eye towards the mammon of unrighteousness. Emma dislikes the notion of leaving those substantial possessions for any prospects which she can perceive in the future, and wishes to remain to take care of number one."
Of all the Mormon accounts we have written up through the years, this may be the first concerning Joseph Smith's wife.
Sixteen pages, 8 1/2 by 12 inches, nice condition.
As noted in Wikipedia, this title: "...(was) one of the most widely-circulated magazines in the United States...Devoted primarily to politics...considered an important source for the history of the period."
