“Discovering Joseph Smith’s cave in Miner’s Hill, Manchester, New York”

http://archival.link/mormoncave/story

Well . . .

There seem to me some real problems with the historical sources on this, such as they are.  But I suppose it’s not inconceivable that there’s some connection to Joseph Smith and, perhaps, to his activities as a treasure-digger.  Maybe.

I’ll be interested in feedback from historians and other experts out there, and from LDS readers more generally.

Feel free to weigh in.
