Occasionally Joseph met opposition to his real-estate transactions. When
he tried to purchase the farm of Isaac McWithy for three thousand dollars,
suggesting a down payment of "four or five hundred dollars to take him to
Zion, and settle him there, and an obligation for the remainder, with good
security and interest," McWithy, who had little taste for the Missouri
wilderness, refused the offer and was brought to trial before the High
Council for his insolence.
