Here is an open, honest, and refreshing history of the foundational years of the Latter-day Saints restoration movement. You may have heard that Joseph Smith was the prophet of Mormonism. But do you know the story behind the gold plates? This book examines the background, evolution, conflicts, and sacrifices made by church members. Primary sources are used to cover over a twenty-five-year period of history. This book covers before the establishment of the church and during Joseph Smith's fourteen-year ministry. If you want to know the history and basis for every church whose teachings go back to the Book of Mormon this is the book. Read from the records of the day.

H. MICHAEL MARQUARDT is an independent historian and a longtime research consultant of the Latter-day Saints (Mormons). He has been publishing on Mormonism for more than thirty years. He is the author of The Joseph Smith Revelations: Text and Commentary (Salt Lake City: Signature Books, 1999).
