Employees would have talked about the Book of Mormon. For example, J. N. T. Tucker in a letter written on May 23, 1842 penned, “We laid one sheet in type, we laid it aside, and told Martin Harris it was lost, and there would be serious defection in the book in consequence, unless another sheet like the original could be produced. The announcement threw the old gentleman in quite an excitement.” The following are a list of those who worked in the building at the time the Book of Mormon was published.
