"The two purported documents which we will deal with in this study are entitled 'A Confession of Oliver Overstreet' and 'Defence in a Rehearsal of My Grounds of Separating Myself from the Latter Day Saints.' The 'Defence' was supposed to have been written by Oliver Cowdery in 1839. The purported confession of Oliver Overstreet was supposed to have been written before April 7, 1857. Both documents are connected with the life of Oliver Cowdery-- one of the three witnesses to the Book of Mormon. We have spent a good deal of time trying to learn the truth concerning these documents, and although we are not pleased with the results of our research, we feel that it would be dishonest and unfair to the Mormon people to suppress our findings. In Part I of this pamphlet we will deal with the 'Overstreet Confession.' In Part 2 we will deal with the 'Defence.'" [Authors]
