In the winter of 1816-1817, the Smiths arrived in New York, destitute and with few prospects. After working odd jobs, they saved up enough to contract a farm in Manchester, just south of Palmyra. In this episode, I describe their first three or so years in New York and discuss the themes of folk magic, treasure seeking, and the Second Great Awakening, leading up to Joseph's First Vision in 1820.
