“When Joseph got the plates, the angel instructed him to carry them back to hill Cumorah, which he did… the hill opened, and they walked into a cave, in which there was a large and specious room…. and there were altogether in this room more plates than probably man wagon loads; they were piled up in the corners and along the walls.” – Brigham Young, June 17, 1877, Journal of Discourses 19:38.
