The overnight bestseller that won the Special Award in Textual Criticism and Bibliography from the Association for Mormon Letters in 2008 and the Best Documentary Editing/Bibliography Award from the Mormon History Association in 2009. The Joseph Smith Papers, Journals, Volume 1: 1832-1839 features Joseph Smith's first five journals. These documents give the reader an appreciation for Joseph Smith's character, his private piety, and his sense of mission. The book also conveys Joseph Smith's perspective on the spiritual manifestations experienced in the Kirtland, Ohio, temple, the origins of the "Mormon War" in Missouri, and the founding of what would become Nauvoo, Illinois, the Mormon city on the Mississippi. The Joseph Smith Papers Project will eventually constitute roughly two dozen volumes, organized into six series. With access to texts not previously available, and certainly never in one collection, the Joseph Smith Papers Project provides new information and insights about Joseph Smith, early Mormonism, and nineteenth-century American religion.
