[Polygamy] to 25 Oct 1841 Smith tells 19 year-old married woman that she must marry him or an angel with a sword will slay him. Already married, 19 year-old Zina remained conflicted with Smith's polygamy proposal "until a day in October, apparently, when Joseph sent [her older brother] Dimick to her with a message: an angel with a drawn sword had stood over Smith and told him that if he did not establish polygamy, he would lose "his position and his life." Zina, faced with the responsibility for his position as prophet, and even perhaps his life, finally acquiesced." They were secretly married within days. SOURCE: In Sacred Loneliness, page 80-,81 (8)
