Summary

On this episode, we take an opportunity to talk with budding Mormon historian, Christopher Smith, who just landed his professorship at U of U! We talk about the current timeline and some of the broader social tensions plaguing Jo and the church in 1838. After that we move on to talk about Dr. Smith’s dissertation concerning the Mormon colonization of Utah and just how bloody it really was. Apparently Bloody Brigham was a bit apprehensive to slaughter thousands of Natives but somehow was convinced otherwise.

0:00.0	I am Christopher Smith and this is Naked Mormonism.
0:06.0	I pledge my life all that I may have.
0:11.0	I will strive to the utmost of my ability to be what you would want me to be.
0:17.0	It's time to find the truth.
0:19.0	And having set our hand to the plow, we will never look back until this work is finished.
0:32.4	Where is the church going?
0:34.0	I have faith that the Constitution will be saved as prophesied by Joseph Smith.
0:42.6	But it will not be saved in Washington. It would be saved by enlightened members of this church.
0:50.9	The explicit tag is there for a reason, so if you get offended at what's said,
0:54.8	it's not for you. But most importantly,
0:57.3	You've pondered the truths you've heard. May they help you become even better than you were.
1:04.8	Skeptice everything.
1:09.0	Welcome to special edition, episode 38 of the Naked Mormonism podcast, the Serial Mormon History podcast.

1:30.5	Today's episode is packed with a discussion with a very special guest. It's not very often that we get Mormon historians on the
1:35.5	show. So whenever they do, we really got to rake them over the coals and, you know, learn as
1:40.1	much as possible from them. So if you are a supporter at patreon.com slash naked Mormonism,
1:46.3	I have to say thank you very much. And also be sure to check out this episode on Patreon because
1:51.6	you get an extra segment. I had to ask Chris a couple of questions that we couldn't really
1:57.4	fit into the regular discussion. And, well, it was really interesting to get his thoughts on the anthogen use in the history of the church.
2:05.3	So be sure to check out the Patreon edition.
2:07.6	And without further ado, this is my interview with Christopher C. Smith.
