chase until the Indian was no longer an inhabitant of that soil". This message was unwelcome to these Native American groups that Tubbee encountered. Lucy Stanton's writing in this revised narrative also included an original poem as well as some letters and documents. Excommunication and spiritualism During their time at winter quarters, William McCary began to claim various powers and spiritual authority that wasn't condoned or accepted by the greater L.D.S. leadership, the most famous of these supposed gifts was the ability to appear as various characters from the Bible and Book of Mormon.
