Elder D. Todd Christofferson, at a BYU Idaho devotional in 2013:
 
<blockquote>
 
Critics have also claimed that there were no religious revivals in the Palmyra, New York, area in 1820, as Joseph Smith reported in his history. With today’s greater access to original sources, including the Palmyra Register newspaper, there is ample evidence of religious revivals in the area during 1820 and some years prior. It appears that the Methodists had a regularly used camp meeting ground, and that revivals were common enough that often they garnered no coverage in the newspapers unless something out of the ordinary occurred such as a death.

Todd Christofferson, [http://www2.byui.edu/Presentations/Transcripts/Devotionals/2013_9_24_Christofferson.htm "The Prophet Joseph Smith,"] Brigham Young University-Idaho Devotional (24 September 2013)</ref>
