About this Item

First Edition. Dark green cloth. Cover; Perhaps no one wrote about or knew LDS history better than Elder B. H. Roberts. Equally, few so eloquently defended the Prophet Joseph Smith, the Church, and the doctrines of the restored gospel. Encompassed on every side by vicious enemies - statesmen, senators, journalists, ministers - the fledgling Church needed a "Daniel Webster" to defend it from the lies and attacks. Such a man was B. H. Roberts. He expounds on such interesting subjects as: Father and Mother in Heaven, the immortality of man, a woman's place in Mormonism, the New Jerusalem, the Lost Tribes, astronomy, achieving peace, the destiny of America, a description of deserted Nauvoo, the miracle of seagulls, a description of entering Salt Lake Valley. Beyond reading the attacks and rebuttals, the reader gets a real feeling for the "climate" of the late 1800s and the turn of the century - a pivotal time in Church history. ; Vol. 1; 5.75" x 7.75"; 532 pages; Very Good has some light edge and corner wear.
