In the 1980's, Mark Hoffman, a member of the LDS Church, came forward with a letter claiming to be an authentic document from the early church. It said, in essence, that Joseph Smith was led by a white salamander, a figure in folk magic, to the Golden Plates, which he eventually translated to be the Book of Mormon. Later, this letter was proven to be a forgery by competent authorities and Hoffman's own admission.
If Gordon Hickney was a true prophet, why was he fooled by this forgery?
