History of Joseph Smith By His Mother, Collector's Edition

In this incomparable classic, Lucy Mack Smith, the mother of the Prophet Joseph Smith, takes a tender look back at the extraordinary life of her son. In this beautifully illustrated edition with paintings by several well-known artists, Mother Smith relates with stirring personal detail the events that shaped his character, as well as the visions and miracles of the gospel restoration that reshaped the world. Through the eyes of a devoted mother, we see the remarkable family into which Joseph Smith was born, the hardships and privations that plagued them at every turn, and the heavy calling that would eventually lead to Joseph’s martyrdom. From the heartbreaking description of young Joseph’s leg surgery, Mother Smith follows the trail of miracles to which she was witness, and offers her own powerful testimony of Joseph Smith’s prophetic calling.
