So, it seems like Joseph Smith's initial intention in publishing Book of Mormon was to profit off book sales. Willard Chase talks about Joseph Smith offering him a "share" in the book in exchange for a chest.
Do we have of list of people who DID have a contractual share in the book?
Who had a share in the book?

You're an anti-mormon aren't you.....
That said, with the Book of Mormon, we are not dealing with a civilization with no written record. What we are dealing with is a written record with no civilization. (Runtu, Feb 2015)

I'm a Christian, and do not accept Mormon doctrine nor Mormon text --- except those portions where the Bible was plagiarized.

Re: Who had a share in the book?
The link talks about the failed sale of the Canadian copyright, which supposedly belonged just to Smith; but it doesn't address who DID have a share in the book. Presumably Martin Harris had a share, and Chase claims he was offered a share. Anyone else?
