JOSEPH SMITH’s FIRST VISION Confirming Evidences & Contemporary Accounts Mormon

Description: JOSEPH SMITH’S FIRST VISION Confirming Evidences and Contemporary Accounts By: Milton V. Backman, Jr. An In Depth Study & Look at the Area, the Religious Revival, the Accounts from others and much-much more. The circumstances surrounding Joseph Smith’s experience in the sacred grove is a subject on which many have desired more information. This book skillfully fulfills that wish. From intensive local research, Milton Backman has unearthed a mass of fascinating information which he here organizes into an absorbing book. In the context of the 1820 Vision he closely examines and development of Palmyra and vicinity, cogently analyzes the growth of church memberships in the area, and vividly portrays the religious excitement and theological controversy which impelled the young Joseph to make his inquiry in the grove. All this done with a wealth of interesting detail on frontier life, denominational proselyting methods, persecution of the youthful Joseph, and so on-much of which is taken from contemporary records both published and unpublished. This volume has full citations from 1832, 1835, 1838, 1842 (Wentworth Letter), Orson Pratt (1840), Orson Hyde (1842 German), 1843 Pittsburgh Gazette, 1844 Alexander Neibaur, Edward Stevenson reminiscence (1893), John Taylor 1879. The 1980 edition includes two new appendices. One of them (Q) includes a “Reply to Critics” in which a harmonization of the various accounts is included. He also gives references to 4 sermons by Orson Pratt in later years. This is a Used Hardback book in Good condition.
