History of Joseph Smith by His Mother

The History of Joseph Smith by His Mother is deeply entrenched in LDS literature. This is a must read for all Mormons and anyone trying to understand the life of Joseph Smith. After reading this you will realize that every other book about Joseph Smith either quotes from Mother Smith or has reference to it.

The story begins with a genealogy of the Smith and Mack families. Then moves to the childhood of Joseph. The bulk of the book concerns the building of the restored Church on Earth and the trials and tribulations the Prophet and his family suffered in doing so.
