I've cleaned it up but this article is still rudimentary, incomplete and may have some small errors of fact here and there. Gwen Gale 16:44, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Posthumously reinstated?

The article has claimed for 2 1/2 years that Lee was posthumously reinstated as a member of the Church. Why has there never been a citation found to back up this claim? (The user who added this info is on wikiholiday, so I couldn't contact him directly.) Corvokarasu 16:17, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind, I found a citation and have included it. Corvokarasu 16:25, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Seemingly contradictory dates

The article states that Lee was excommunicated in 1870, yet the Lee's Ferry article (and a Salt Lake Tribune article I just read) states that the church asked him to establish the ferry in 1871. That doesn't make sense. I'm going to place a citation request on his excomm date. Does anyone have better information on this? --TrustTruth (talk) 17:06, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
