Paperback. Condition: New. New still in original shrink wrap.; Brand new softcover just into the warehouse!This is reprint of the long-out-of-print book by the title MURDER OF THE MORMON PROPHET by LeGrand Baker (done in hardcover and leather).This edition is softcover, and there will eventually be a limited edition leather.For the first time a historian has given us a national matrix into which we can place the life of Joseph Smith and Nauvoo, and in that context make better sense of it all. This book presents a comprehensive look at the short period preceding the Prophet's martyrdom. It is ground-breaking for these reasons:1) It examines the Anti-Mormon network that planned the murders of Joseph and Hyrum;2) It identifies key players, including Governor Ford, and their involvement in the murders;3) An extensive legal analysis of the charges of treason against Joseph Smith, and concludes that they were completely without foundation;4) a detailed analysis of the "freedom of the press" issue, often mis-represented by historians, that arose over the destruction of the Nauvoo Expositor. Contrary to what has previously been written the question of freedom of the press was not an issue of the time;5) It examines about 250 newspapers throughout the United States to demonstrate the real mood of the nation regarding Joseph Smith and the Saints;6) It examines Joseph Smith's candidacy for President of the United States and shows that it was taken quite seriously;7) Contains an exhaustive look at obituaries published in newspapers throughout the country after the martyrdom. The depth of this research reveals quite a different picture than what has been claimed by historians in the past.; 6" x 9"; 538 pages.…

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First edition. SIGNED. 812pp. Thick octavo [23.5 cm] in black cloth with gilt-stamped spine. Boards are crisp and unworn; interior is clean and tight. In the dust jacket, with sunning to the spine (title and image still bold). Inscribed by the author on the title page: "To____ from LeGrand." The Murder of the Mormon Prophet examines about 250 newspapers published in 1844 throughout the United States and the Republic of Texas, to discover how the nation regarded Joseph Smith and the Mormons. It examines the Anti-Mormon political party that planned the murders of the Joseph and Hyrum, and the expulsion of the Saints from Illinois. It identifies key players and the involvement of each-showing clear evidence of Governor Ford's early involvement in the plans for the murders. It includes an extensive legal analysis of the charges of treason against Joseph Smith, and shows that the charges were completely without foundation. It analyzes the "freedom of the press" issue-often mis-represented by historians that arose over the destruction of the Nauvoo Expositor, and shows that not only did Joseph not violate the constitutional principle, but that he was not accused of doing so by the overwhelming majority of American newspaper editors. It traces Joseph's national campaign to be President of the United States, shows why the campaign was important to the Mormons, and why it was a factor in Joseph's murder. …
