The Stature of Joseph’s Counterpart


Oliver Cowdery

It was said that Joseph Smith stood a commanding 6’ tall. That was definitely considered larger for his day, however, today that’s just average. But what about Oliver Cowdery? We know how he measured up spiritually, however, what about physically? How tall was Oliver Cowdery?

a.      6’ 1”

b.      5’ 5”

c.       6’ 4”

d.      5’ 2”

Yesterday’s answer:

(D)    1,000 books


    Now came the great task of publishing the manuscript as a book. For perspective, consider that large print jobs of that day were 2,000 copies of a two-to three-page pamphlet or 1,000 copies of a book.

   Joseph and Oliver searched for a printer who would take on the mammoth order they had in mind-5,000 copies of a 590-page book.
