Editor's Comments:
The walking cane in this photo was owned by MARKHAM, Stephen. He termed the cane, "The Rascal Beater," because he used it often to beat off angry mobs that threatened his life as well as the life of the prophet Joseph Smith.
John Taylor used this cane to beat down the guns of the Carthage Greys as they forced their way into the second story room of Carthage Jail to murder Joseph Smith.
The cane is on display at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Museum just to the west of the Salt Lake City Temple.
