Description
1948 edition. Former library book has some markings and labels from library. No dust jacket. Hardcover is in good condition. Pages are clean and binding is secure.
This volume from the official history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints offers a remarkable first-hand account of the origins and early years of the Mormon faith by its founder, Joseph Smith. Published just a few years after Smith’s martyrdom in 1844, it provides an invaluable window into the establishment of this uniquely American religious movement in the 1820s-1830s. While some have questioned its historical accuracy, the narrative remains a foundational text for understanding Smith’s visions, translation of the Book of Mormon, and the Mormon pioneers’ journey to Utah. This ex-library copy shows its institutional provenance through markings, but its sound binding and clean pages preserve Smith’s influential story for modern readers interested in 19th century America, religious movements, or the remarkable life of this controversial visionary.
