Some insist that the Book of Mormon was plagiarized. They point out that a Presbyterian minister, Solomon Spaulding, wrote a story similar to certain accounts in the Book of Mormon. The Spaulding manuscript then is supposed to have fallen into the hands of a Baptist named Sidney Rigdon, who in turn gave it to Joseph Smith.
