Presumably in keeping with the wording of the resolution, Hyde prepared for publication a pamphlet, rather than newspaper articles, about Rigdon. Framed as an address to the Nauvoo high priests quorum, Hyde’s pamphlet was published in May 1845 as Speech of Elder Orson Hyde, Delivered before the High Priest’s Quorum in Nauvoo, April 27th, 1845, upon the Course and Conduct of Mr. Sidney Rigdon, and upon the Merits of His Claims to the Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Nauvoo, IL: John Taylor, 1845). The Nauvoo Neighbor began advertising the pamphlet on 7 May 1845, stating, “We hope no friend of the church will go from this place to any part of our country, or to Europe, without supplying himself with a good quantity. They are not only a safe guard, but a perfect cure for Rigdonism in all cases that have not become stubborn.” (News Item, Nauvoo Neighbor, 7 May 1845, [2].)
