Wesley Preston Walters (January 20, 1926 – November 9, 1990) was a pastor of the United Presbyterian Church in Marissa, Illinois.[1][2] He is notable for his historical research critical of the Latter Day Saint Movement, specifically Joseph Smith's First Vision account. Historian Richard Bushman, who often differed with Walters' views, said that Walters, "performed a very positive service to the cause of Mormon History because he was a delver. He went deep into the heart of the archives. [He] made us realize that we can't assume anything. Everything had to be demonstrated and proved."[3]
