About This Book

This book is a collection of the eyewitness testimonies of the men and women who participated in the birth of Mormonism. Using all of the known writings of Joseph Smith and those of his contemporaries (such as Joseph and Lucy Mack Smith, Emma Hale Smith, William Smith, Katherine Smith Salisbury, Oliver Cowdery, David Whitmer, Martin Harris, and Joseph Knight), this work unfolds the dramatic story of the Restoration in the language of the witnesses themselves.
