extremists

However
, this
typescript
significantly
differs
from the
original
manuscript
.
Eudocia's
manuscript
describes
Mormons
living
in
Hancock
County
,
Illinois
around
the
years
1838
to
1845
. She
recalls
the
Nauvoo
Temple
, the
Carthage
Greys
(the
local
militia)
,
events
surrounding
Joseph
Smith's
assassination
, and
attitudes
,
fears
, and
suspicions
prevalent
among
non-Mormons
in
Hancock
County
. She
describes
Sidney
Ridgon
and
Brigham
Young
as 'the
brain
which
had
built
up
the
Mormon
system
' and
Joseph
Smith
as '
immensely
conceited
' and '
puffed
up
with
pride
and
arrogance.
' She
calls
Joseph
Smith's
followers
'
confederates
' and
says
that
it
was
rumored
that
Emma
Smith
had
little
or
no
faith
in her
husband
Joseph's
claim
to be a
prophet
of the
Lord
. She
discusses
the
reaction
of the
doctrine
of '
spiritual
wives
' or '
celestial
marriages,
'
saying
that 'the
better
class
of
Mormons
'
emphatically
denied
this
doctrine
. She
mentions
Joseph
Smith's
candidacy
for
president
of the
United
States
in
1844
and
discusses
the
Mormons
'
political
influence
in
Illinois
. She
claims
that her
mother
witnessed
Joseph
Smith
fall
from a
window
in
Carthage
Jail
to the
ground
as he was
shot
and
killed
. She
describes
the
confusion
and
panic
that
followed
the
martyrdom
of
Joseph
Smith
,
which
eventually
led
to the
removal
of
Mormons
from
Illinois
. She
defends
her
position
against
what
some
claim
as 'the
cruelty
of this
expatriation
of a
whole
people,
'
saying
that '
only
the
people
among
whom
they
lived
could
know
how
very
malignant
was this
malady
of
Mormonism.
