Esplin discusses Whitmer's brief tenure as church historian, the record he kept, attempts by the Church to acquire his record after his excommunication, and its eventual acquisition and publication by the Reorganized Church. He discusses the manuscript's increased accessability and the somewhat fading negative connotations with which it has been treated as well as its contributions to church history.
