Hurlburt claimed that Sidney Rigdon had stolen a novel written by the Rev. Solomon F. Spaulding and had given it to Joseph Smith to be published as scripture. Because Spaulding's original manuscript was lost, researchers were unable to verify the claim and those opposed to the Latter-day Saints found the story to be a convenient way to explain the authorship of the Book of Mormon as well as to add evidence to Joseph Smith's deception.
