Collection #2 - Includes Volumes IV & V of Joseph Smith's
written History of the Church. This history was produced by
assignment from Church leaders at the beginning of the 20th
century. The History editor was B. H. Roberts, a prominent LDS
leader. Roberts' assignment was to take the manuscript history
produced by Joseph Smith (1805-1844) and his clerks between 1838
and 1857 and publish it together with explanatory notes. The
history was written as though dictated by Joseph Smith, however he
dictated only a small portion of it. The bulk of the manuscript was
based on Church records, Church newspaper excerpts and journals of
Joseph Smith kept by various men who recorded his activities as
well as the diary entries of men who were with Joseph Smith at
various times and places or who performed Church missionary
efforts, or other tasks of historical importance. The first six
volumes of the history cover the life of Joseph Smith, while volume
seven concerns the period of time from the death of Joseph Smith
(1844) through 1847 and part of 1848. The purpose of volume seven
was to cover various matters about and resulting from Joseph
Smith's death as well as the important problem of who would succeed
him as the leader of the Church. The manuscript history was
completed only up to 1838 when Joseph Smith was killed. The bulk of
the manuscript history text was written following his death.
