This third volume of the authoritative history of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, published by the church’s own Herald House press, covers a pivotal period from 1844 to 1872. Following the assassination of Joseph Smith Jr. in 1844, the Latter Day Saint movement fractured into several groups, each claiming to be the true successor. This volume chronicles the early decades of the Reorganized Church, which was led by Joseph Smith III and positioned itself as the legitimate continuation of the original church established by his father.
Beyond simply recounting events, this history provides invaluable insights into the theological disputes, power struggles, and personal dramas that shaped the Reorganized Church’s identity and trajectory. Readers interested in the complex tapestry of Latter Day Saint movements will find this an essential resource, while collectors will appreciate owning an official publication from a significant but often overlooked branch of the Restoration tradition.
