MormonTimes.com: Is photo Joseph Smith? New book says 'yes'
A photographic image at the center of his research purported to be the only known photograph of LDS Church founder Joseph Smith was the subject of much furor a few weeks ago when a widely circulated anonymous e-mail claimed LDS Church headquarters had verified it as being an authentic image of the prophet Joseph Smith. The e-mail prompted the church to issue an official statement that it had not confirmed that the image was of Joseph Smith, and that the e-mails claims were false.
"Unfortunately there's been a lot of misinformation," Tracy said of the e-mail and the conclusions people drew from it.
For a variety of reasons, members and academics alike were skeptical of the e-mail's claims, and that skepticism has turned into cynicism regarding his book that was released this week, Tracy said.
