For too long, the LDS church's narrative has hidden key details and created an inspiring narrative that doesn't reflect reality.The discussion centers around the excellent book on this topic, "Devil's Gate: Brigham Young and the Great Mormon Handcart Tragedy' by David RobertsThank you so much for watching Mormonish Podcast!***How to DONATE to Mormonish Podcast: If you would like to help financially support our podcast, you can DONATE to support Mormonish Podcast here: Mormonish Podcast is a 501(c) (3) https://donorbox.org/mormonish-podcast ****WE HAVE MERCH! **** If you’d like to purchase Mormonish Merch, you can visit our Merch store here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/mormonishmerch We appreciate our Mormonish viewers and listeners so much!
