The Book of Mormon, a key religious text, was published in Palmyra, New York, marking a significant milestone for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Authored by Joseph Smith, it was translated from golden plates he claimed were divinely revealed.

Grandin and generated considerable excitement and controversy in the local community.
