Williams, Joseph Smith first set about recording his own history in the summer of 1832. In it he recounted for the first time in writing his first vision of Deity and the discovery of the gold plates. Two years later a more ambitious project, the 1834-1836 history, was initiated. This history drew largely on existing records, including Oliver Cowdery's account of the translation of the Book of Mormon and the conferral of priesthood authority. Like the 1832 history, this manuscript remained unfinished. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePresented in this first volume of the Histories series are the six histories that Joseph Smith personally wrote, dictated, or supervised. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Illustrations and Maps\u003cbr\u003eTimeline of Joseph Smith's Life\u003cbr\u003eMap: Joseph Smith's Residences\u003cbr\u003eSeries Introduction: Joseph Smith's Historical Enterprise\u003cbr\u003eChart: History Creation Dates, Narrative Spans, Scribes, and Precursor Documents\u003cbr\u003eChart: Relationships among Histories and Precursors\u003cbr\u003eVolume 1 Introduction: The Histories of Joseph Smith, 1832-1844\u003cbr\u003eEditorial Method\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoseph Smith Histories, 1832-1844\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHistory, circa Summer 1832\u003cbr\u003eHistory, 1834-1836\u003cbr\u003eHistory Drafts, 1838-circa 1841\u003cbr\u003e \"Extract, from the Private Journal of Joseph Smith Jr.,\" July 1839\u003cbr\u003e\"Church History\" 1 March 1842\u003cbr\u003e\"Latter Day Saints,\" 1 March 1842\u003cbr\u003eAppendix: Orson Pratt, \u003ci\u003eA[n] Interesting Account of Several Remarkable Visions, 1840\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eReference Material\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChronology for the Years 1805-1844\u003cbr\u003eMaps\u003cbr\u003eMap Index\u003cbr\u003ePedigree Chart\u003cbr\u003eBiographical Directory\u003cbr\u003eGlossary\u003cbr\u003eEssay on Sources\u003cbr\u003eWorks Cited\u003cbr\u003eCorresponding Section Numbers in Editions of the Doctrine and Covenants\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour additional histories, assigned by Joseph Smith but not dictated or supervised by him, will form the content of \u003ci\u003eHistories, Volume 2.\u003c\/i\u003e The balance of the Histories series, published electronically at the Joseph Smith Papers website, will present the entirety of the massive multivolume history initiated in 1838. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deseret Book Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47151842558192,"sku":"9781629732893","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781629732893_p0.jpg?v=1763868187","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781629732893","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
