Elizabeth A. Kuehn on the Kirtland Bank

The FairMormon youtube page just posted the audio of Elizabeth Kuehn's (excellent) presentation on the Kirtland Bank:

Finances and Faith in the Kirtland Crisis of 1837 - Elizabeth A. Kuehn




Elizabeth has done a lot of work on this particular issue; here is another video giving a brief overview of this topic:

The Kirtland Bank: Q&A


She was also interviewed by Laura Harris Hales on the LDS Perspectives podcast:

Religious and Financial Panic in Kirtland - Elizabeth Kuehn


She appears to be friends with Mark Lyman Staker, whose book on the Ohio revelations is a must-read (it also has a lengthy section on the Kirtland Bank):

Hearken, O Ye People: The Historical Setting of Joseph Smith's Ohio Revelations (Salt Lake City: Greg Kofford Books, 2010)
