This article explores Shaker Richard McNemar's life, and his 1831 review of the Book of Mormon. McNemar was involved in the Kentucky Revival movement, converted to Shakerism, and was present when Oliver Cowdery visited the Presbyterians in Union Village, Ohio. The author has also included a transcript of McNemar's review, which includes a summary of the main points and McNemar's criticism of the Mormon process of translation.
