Joseph Smith, founding prophet and martyr of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints, personally wrote, dictated, or
commissioned thousands of documents. Among these are several highly
significant sources that scholars have used over and over again in
their attempts to reconstruct the founding era of Mormonism,
usually by focusing solely on content, without a deep appreciation
for how and why a document was produced. This book offers case
studies of the sources most often used by historians of the early
Mormon experience. Each chapter takes a particular document as its
primary subject, considering the production of a document as an
historical event in itself, with its own background, purpose,
circumstances, and consequences. The documents are examined not
merely as sources of information but as artifacts that reflect
aspects of the general culture and particular circumstances in
which they were created. This book will help historians working in
the founding era of Mormonism gain a more solid grounding in the
period's documentary record by supplying important information on
major primary sources.
