From the fall of 1838 through the Spring of 1839, Joseph Smith and other Church Leaders were confined in the Liberty Jail.  They had several attorneys defending them, including Peter Burnett, a Missouri lawyer and--incidentally-- one of the Missouri militiamen who had marched against the Latter-day Saints at Far West.  In this episode, we discuss Peter Burnett's account of defending Joseph Smith.  Latter-day Saints are familiar with the harsh conditions of the Liberty Jail, but Burnett's account highlights an aspect of the experience that is less well-known: that Joseph and the other prisoners were in constant danger of being lynched by mobs, and they were particularly vulnerable during court hearings and while being moved to and from the jail.  Burnett's account highlights the heroism of Joseph's team of country lawyers, scratching out a living in a lawless frontier, and taking a stand for the rule of law against the murderous mob.We recount one pre-trial hearing where the prisoners and their attorneys were in imminent danger of being dragged out of the Liberty Courthouse and hanged.  Yet Burnett and Doniphan would not back down.  Burnett recounts how he drew his pistol and told his co-counsel, "Doniphan, let yourself out [i.e., give it all you've got], my good fellow.  I will kill the first man who attacks you."  And Doniphan proceeded to give the one of the most noble, withering arguments, growing bolder as the crowd grew more incensed.    He also describes the stream of curious visitors that came to the Davis County Jail to gawk at the famous Joseph Smith.  These visits led Joseph into theological debates and, memorably, a wrestling match against the best fighter of Davis County.  Burnett also leaves an incredible summation of his client's physical appearance, mannerisms, and character.  While Burnett had much criticism of Joseph's way of speaking, his lack of education, and his awkward way of expressing ideas, "with all these drawbacks," he wrote, "Joseph Smith was much more than an ordinary man."   For more information contained in this episode, please check out:   Peter Hardeman Burnett, Recollections and Opinions of an Old Pioneer (1880), available at https://www.loc.gov/item/01006673/  Search Terms:  Joseph Smith, Peter Burnett, Alexander Doniphan, Mormon War, Missouri Persecution, Clay County, Davis County, Liberty Jail, Lyman Wight, Sidney Rigdon, Samuel Lucas, court-martial,  lynch mobs, Country Lawyers

Latter-day Saints remember the conflict that has come to be known as the "The Mormon War” in Missouri in 1838.  Places like Haun's Mill, Far West, Clay County witnessed violent and savage persecutions against the newly organized Church, and Latter-day Saints have worked hard to preserve the stories and the voices of the saints who lived through them. But what was it like to muster into the Missouri militia and move against Far West?  On this episode, we will explore the Mormon War from the perspective of Peter Hardeman Burnett (1808 - 1895).  A farmer, a clerk, a lawyer and, eventually, a Soldier in the Missouri militia, Burnett describes what led to the conflict and relates his experience serving under Brigadier General Alexander Doniphan (1808-1887).   What may be surprising to modern readers, Burnett does not shy away from candidly describing a fact often left out of such memoirs-- Burnett and the men of his company were terrified of the Mormons.   Even so, Burnett was a believer in the rule of law.  In the critical moment when church leaders Joseph Smith, Hyrum Smith, Sidney Rigdeon and others were about to be tried by court-martial and executed, Burnett assured Doniphan that he and the men of Clay County would stand by him in opposing the court-martial, a plan Doniphan denounced as "cold-blooded murder."   To learn more about the materials in this episode, please check out:Peter Hardeman Burnett, Recollections and Opinions of an Old Pioneer (1880), available at https://www.loc.gov/item/01006673/ Search terms:  Peter Hardemen Burnett, Clay County, Mormon War, 1838, Lyman Wight, Missouri Frontier, David Patton, Joseph Smith, Hyrum Smith, Sidney Rigdon, Battle of Crooked River, Alexander Doniphan, Samuel Lucas, Samuel Bogard, Davis County, Ray County, Frontier, Court-Martial.   

In this episode, Tom Dunlap chats with Peter Burnett, of Burnett and Williams Firm, about his Ampersand Pantry project that collects meals from local restaurants and gives them to families in need during Covid. Peter has been practicing law for almost 44 years. In that time, he has come to realize the power and importance of community. As someone who owns businesses in his local community, he has come to recognize how the people around him have made him successful. This sparked a need to give back to his neighbors who struggle.

It's a special episode! Assoc. Prof. Dr. Perter Burnett from the Australian National University tells me about the calamitous failures of the administration of Australia's environment laws, as reported by the Australian National Audit Office, in this report from the Auditor-General, "Referrals, Assessments and Approvals of Controlled Actions under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999" After 20 years working in government managing and reviewing environment policy, this report shocked him.  It's no wonder our threatened species have fared so badly over the last decade. Pay special attention to Peter's comments about the major tool of the department in this policy area, offsets! Read Peter's article from The Conversation here. Honour Roll - You have to give credit where credit is due! It's NSW environment minister, Matt Kean, who purchased Narriearra station in the state's far north-west, for a new national park. As mentioned in The Guardian, "The area includes wetlands listed as nationally significant and is home to at least 27 threatened species, including almost 90% of the endangered grey grasswren's habitat and breeding areas."  Hooray! https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/jun/27/nsw-makes-record-land-purchase-for-new-national-park Follow me on Twitter @birdemergency Currently trying to get some eyes and subscribers on The Bird Emergency on YouTube, so I can put a bit more effort into the video side of things, so if you would like more visual content, please subscribe, and I will watch with interest if that's what you want!

What concerns would industry stakeholders have if a push for a national governing body of thoroughbred racing were to gain momentum?

Our second podcast features Peter Burnett, who takes us on an entertaining and illuminating trip through the curious world of crisps, inspired by his master work "The Supper Book", an annotated list of everything he ate and drank in one year. The West Port is Edinburgh’s Soho, a heady mix of booze, bosoms, bespoke tailoring and BOOKS. It would almost be churlish not to celebrate this profusion of pages so we run an annual book festival that plays out over 11 wonderful West Port venues, ranging from singular second-hand bookshops to crisp art spaces and whisky-scented pubs. http://westportbookfestival.org Incidental music is the track "Trouble Scene" from MWD, http://www.budabeats.com/bube007.htm
