Natural Born Seer: Joseph Smith, American Prophet, 1805-1830
by Richard S. Van Wagoner
“I treat the early years of the Mormon prophet as I would approach an archaeological dig,” Van Wagoner explains. “The deepest levels, those deposited first and least contaminated by subsequent accumulates, are of primary interest in my pursuit of the historical Joseph. Mindful of the prophet’s controversial reputation, I try to remain sensitive to the impact that some of the more problematic elements of his behavior may have on believers. But truth is often best evidenced in the detail.” This meticulously researched study offers more detail than any previously published biography of Smith, and provides what may be the most culturally nuanced analysis of the early years of the American prophet.
