No man knows my history : the life of Joseph Smith, the Mormon prophet
Fawn McKay Brodie (Author), W. A. Dwiggins (Typographer, Binder), Plimpton Press (Printer)
The classic biography of the founder of the Mormon church, this book attempts to answer the questions that continue to surround Joseph Smith. Was he a genuine prophet, or a gifted fabulist who became enthralled by the products of his imagination and ended up being martyred for them?
