Publisher's Synopsis
The Mormon Prophet's Tragedy is a historical novel written by Orson Ferguson Whitney in 1905. The book tells the story of the early days of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), focusing on the life of the prophet Joseph Smith and his eventual martyrdom. The novel begins with Smith's childhood and follows his journey as he receives divine revelations, establishes the church, and faces persecution from non-believers. The story also explores the complex relationships between Smith and his followers, including his wives and the members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. Ultimately, the novel culminates in Smith's tragic death at the hands of a mob in Carthage, Illinois. The Mormon Prophet's Tragedy offers a fictionalized account of one of the most important events in the history of the LDS church, and provides readers with a glimpse into the life of one of the most influential religious figures in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
