Description

The finest book on the life of Joseph Smith. The Mormon writer, Samuel W. Taylor remarked: "...Mrs. Brodie was unchurched for the writing of it and delivered to the buffetings of Satan; ... It was not inaccuracy that raised the Mormon ire, but her documentation of that which we didn't wish to believe."
