Emma Smith’s Last Testimony (1879): “Neither Manuscript nor Book”
In February 1879, a few months before she died, Emma Smith answered her son's questions about the Book of Mormon.

The records tell a different story: no bank got an Ohio charter that year, the Panic of 1837 broke banks nationwide, an enemy drained the reserves and sued, Joseph resigned and warned people off the notes, paid the judgment, and lost heavily.
