Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a firsthand account of the origins and early development of Mormonism, a religious movement that has left an indelible mark on American history. The author, a contemporary of Joseph Smith, the movement's founder, offers a unique perspective on Smith's character and the events that led to the emergence of the Church of Latter-day Saints. The book delves into Smith's early life, including his family's history, his reputation as a mischievous and dishonest youth, and his involvement in various schemes, most notably his infamous "money-digging" activities. The author meticulously recounts Smith's claims of supernatural visions and the discovery of ancient golden plates, which he claimed to translate into the Book of Mormon. The book offers a fascinating glimpse into the rise of a religious movement from its humble beginnings, examining the interplay of Smith's charisma, the gullibility of his followers, and the impact of prevailing cultural beliefs. Through its intimate portrayal of the people and events that shaped Mormonism's early years, the book provides essential insights into the origins of a religious phenomenon that continues to influence American society.
