102: Deep in the Weeds of the Deeds

Please consider supporting this podcast: Venmo: @Michelle-Stone-24 Patreon.com/132Problems Part 1 on Deeds, where we go deep into laying the foundation of what the deeds were, how they worked, where they are recorded, and what sources we rely on to connect them to polygamy. Part 2 will go into specifics and look at the problematic anomalies of the two very important July 12, 1843 deeds -- the deed to Emma and her children, and the hidden deed to Hyrum. Part 3, with statistics professor John Kidd will respond directly to Bill Reel's claims and attempted statistical analysis.
