QUESTION #12 -- EARLY MORMON HISTORY QUIZ

Correct.

John Taylor's account of Joseph Smith's murder is recorded in the History of the Church, vol. 7, pg. 102-103:

    Joseph Smith "...pulling the six-shooter left by Brother Wheelock from his pocket, opened the door slightly, and snapped the pistol six successive times; only three of the barrels, however, were discharged. I afterwards understood that two or three were wounded by these discharges, two of whom, I am informed, died."
