<P0-S0> The Danites were a fraternal organization founded by Latter Day Saint members in June 1838, in the town of Far West, Caldwell County, Missouri. <P0-S1>  During their period of organization in Missouri, the Danites operated as a vigilante group and took a central role in the events of the 1838 Mormon War. <P0-S2>  There is no evidence that the Danites existed after 1838. <P0-S3>  However, they remained an important part of Mormon and non-Mormon folklore, polemics, and propaganda for the remainder of the 19th century, waning in ideological prominence after Utah gained statehood. <P0-S4>  Notwithstanding public excommunications of Danite leaders by the Church and both public and private statements from Joseph Smith referring to the band as being both evil in nature and a "secret combination" (a derogatory term used in the Book of Mormon), the nature and scope of the organization and the degree to which it was officially connected to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints are a matter of some dispute among historians. <P0-S5>  Earlier in the band's existence, Joseph Smith appeared to endorse the group's actions, but later turned against them as violence increased and the actions of the Danites inspired a hysteria in Missouri that eventually led to the Extermination Order. <SEP> <P1-S0> The paper was likely founded as part of Joseph Smith's presidential campaign. <P1-S1>  It resembled other contemporary Mormon newspapers, from which it often published excerpts. <P1-S2>  Other editors included George T. Leach, Samuel Brannan, A. E. Wright, and Parley P. Pratt. <P1-S3>  In July 1845 the paper's format and name changed to become the "New-York Messenger", which lasted until the end of the year. <SEP> <P2-S0> Samuel Brannan (March 2, 1819 – May 5, 1889) was an American settler, businessman, journalist, and prominent Mormon who founded the "California Star", the first newspaper in San Francisco, California. <P2-S1>  He is considered the first to publicize the California Gold Rush and was its first millionaire. <P2-S2>  He used the profits from his stores to buy large tracts of real estate. <P2-S3>  He helped form the first vigilance committee in San Francisco and was disfellowshiped from the LDS church because of his actions within the vigilance committee. <P2-S4>  Brannan's wife divorced him and he was forced to liquidate much of his real estate to pay her one-half of their assets. <P2-S5>  He died poor and in relative obscurity. <SEP> <P3-S0> Joseph Smith presidential campaign, 1844 was an election campaign by Latter Day Saint movement founder Joseph Smith and his vice presidential running mate, LDS First Presidency First Counselor Sidney Rigdon. <P3-S1>  The United States presidential election, 1844 was scheduled for 1 November to 4 December of that year, but Smith was killed by a mob on 27 June. <P3-S2>  Wicks and Foister argue in "Junius and Joseph" that political operatives with ties to Smith's Whig opponent Henry Clay were present at events surrounding the charge on the jail where Smith was awaiting trial for treason, among other charges.
