This picture might be an actual picture of Joseph Smith. It belongs to the RLDS church, and just recently has been released. Daniel has seen this picture in his church history class because his teacher was on a select committee doing research for the church to authenticate it. After Daniel saw this picture in his class, he searched all over for it, but couldnt find it. His dad actually just sent it to him and asked him what he thought of it. Some people have been skeptical of the picture becasue they claim that Joseph Smith was a stockier built man. According to LDS historians, this picture was taken just after Liberty Jail so Joseph would understandibly be a thinner man at that point. Pretty interesting picture though. Daniel's teacher is 100% convinced it is Joseph Smith.
