Ummm... I guess Susquehanna County PA has to take some credit for the Mormon movement, ... our apologies (although whatever works for you, its your life your deal, just stay off my deck). Its interesting how ugly the locals were towards the movement then and how accomodating they are now that they're established and are have some economic clout. The town of Susquehanna is positioning itself as the LDS Mecca since Smith had his visions near there. I've surveyed in the area where it all went down and there were some interesting notes about the whole thing in the deeds we researched. The Mormons went through some serious abuse to get where they are though. If you read some of their history folks were practically killing them for sport.
