Video claims Joseph Smith secretly married six teenage girls as young as 14

A new YouTube video from Holy Land History claims Joseph Smith secretly married at least six teenage girls between 1833 and 1843, two of them just 14 years old, citing names, ages and dates the creator says come from the Church's own published records and scholarship.

The video, titled "The Letter Joseph Smith Begged Them to Burn," was uploaded Thursday and has not yet gained measurable view velocity. The channel focuses on historical analysis of religious figures and movements.
