Seeking info about destruction of polygamy records

Post by Hagoth »

I remember reading once about a church employee who was ordered to destroy mountains of documents after the official repeal of polygamy. Does anyone have information about this?

Why does destroying documents about polygamy sound familiar?

Imagine if you will... How many other letters like the one written to "Sister Whitney" were actually destroyed as Mr. Smith requested...
