[1983 Mormon Historical Association Winner for Best Article]
Jessee provides a step-by-step account of Smith's death and in the process seeks to evaluate the narrative in the DHC. He concludes that the story contained in our traditional history is basically correct, although its methodology clearly reflected the inexacting standards of its composition--without footnotes or clear attribution of sources being used.
