Kinderhook Plates – Part 1
The Kinderhook Plates are a very important part of LDS church history.
In 1843 six brass plates – bell shaped – were found in a dug-up mound in Kinderhook, Illinois witnessed by nine individuals.
That could support the evidence for the Brass Plates of the Book of Mormon.
That is what those men thought when they saw the plates. The plates had an ancient appearance with writing on them that looked like hieroglyphics.
In fact, when the plates were taken and shown to Joseph Smith, he remarked that the figures or writing on them was similar to what was on the Book of Mormon brass plates.
Smith claimed, that by the help of revelation he would be able to translate those plates.
The story of finding the Kinderhook Plates and drawings of the six plates was published in the Times and Seasons, which was the Church’s official newspaper. Joseph was an editor and surely would not have allowed the story to be printed if it wasn’t true.
