Description: Become more personally acquainted with the Prophet Joseph Smith and early Latter-day Saint Church History through the engrossing volumes of the Documents series. This first volume includes documents dating from the summer of 1828, after the 116 manuscript pages were lost, through June 1831. This period covers such foundational events as the translation and publication of the Book of Mormon, the organization of the Church, the beginning of missionary work, and the relocation from New York to Ohio. Because most of the documents are revelations that were later published in the Doctrine and Covenants, this volume becomes a valuable companion for studying that scripture as well.
