Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Originally published in 1848, A Narrative of Some of the Proceedings of the Mormons is a rare and striking firsthand account from Catherine Lewis, a former believer who journeyed deep into the inner workings of early Mormonism-only to emerge disillusioned and determined to warn others.Drawn by promises of divine truth, Lewis travels to Nauvoo, where she encounters secret teachings, plural marriage proposals, and the mysterious temple "endowment" ceremonies. What begins as a sincere search for spiritual confirmation quickly transforms into a troubling exposure of hidden rituals, coercion, and absolute obedience to church leadership.With vivid detail, Lewis recounts her personal experiences inside the temple, her resistance to becoming a plural wife, and her growing fear as she uncovers what she believes to be deception, manipulation, and dangerous doctrines operating beneath the surface of the faith.Part memoir, part expose, this controversial narrative offers a window into the tensions, beliefs, and conflicts surrounding early Mormon history-capturing the voice of a woman who risked everything to speak out. Lewis' book is a rare and striking firsthand account from a former believer who journeyed deep into the inner workings of early Mormonism-only to emerge disillusioned and determined to warn others.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The City of the Mormons; or, Three Days at Nauvoo in 1842 is one of the most important contemporary accounts of Joseph Smith's Nauvoo.Written by Anglican clergyman Henry Caswall after spending three days in the city in April 1842, this rare firsthand narrative records his observations of Mormon worship, the unfinished Nauvoo Temple, the Nauvoo House, Joseph Smith's Egyptian papyri, and conversations with church members and leaders-including Joseph Smith and Lucy Mack Smith.The book is best known for Caswall's account of showing Joseph Smith an ancient Greek Psalter. According to Caswall, Smith declared the manuscript to be an Egyptian dictionary and connected its characters to the "reformed Egyptian" of the Book of Mormon. Whether readers agree with Caswall's interpretation or not, the episode remains one of the most frequently cited contemporary accounts relating to the Book of Abraham.Beyond this famous encounter, Caswall documents the growth of Nauvoo, missionary efforts among British converts, temple construction, religious meetings, the Nauvoo Legion, and the atmosphere surrounding the rapidly expanding Latter-day Saint movement.Although written from a critical Anglican perspective, Three Days at Nauvoo in 1842 remains an indispensable primary source for historians, students of Mormonism, and anyone interested in early American religious history.This modern edition has been lightly edited for readability while preserving the original text and includes explanatory editorial notes to help modern readers understand the historical context. Over the course of three days, Caswall toured the unfinished Nauvoo Temple, examined the Egyptian papyri, met Joseph Smith, and presented him with an ancient Greek Psalter, which Smith identified as an "Egyptian dictionary."

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Originally published in 1853, Mormonism, Explained and Exposed by Dawson Burns is one of the earliest comprehensive critiques of the growing Latter-day Saint movement. Written just nine years after the death of Joseph Smith and only months after the public announcement of plural marriage, Burns provides a fascinating window into how Victorian-era observers understood Mormonism during its formative years. Drawing from contemporary newspapers, government reports, eyewitness accounts, and early Mormon publications, Burns examines Joseph Smith's early treasure-seeking activities, the origins of the Book of Mormon, Mormon scripture and theology, church organization, the rise of Nauvoo, and the controversial introduction of plural marriage. While the work reflects the theological perspective and language of a nineteenth-century Baptist minister, it also preserves valuable historical arguments, sources, and contemporary reactions that continue to interest historians and students of Mormon history.This modern edition has been carefully reformatted for readability while preserving the original text. Minor grammatical and formatting changes have been made, and additional editorial footnotes provide historical context where appropriate.Whether you are researching early Mormonism, studying nineteenth-century religious controversies, or exploring primary historical perspectives on the Latter-day Saint movement, this classic volume offers an important contemporary voice from the era in which Mormonism first emerged. Dawson Burns traces Joseph Smith's rise from treasure seeker to religious leader, explores the origins of the Book of Mormon, and analyzes early Mormon doctrines and church organization.
