	Excerpts -- Lucy's Book (Lucy Mack Smith)
		Lucy's older brother, Jason, became a "seeker" and eventually formed his own religious community; her two older sisters each had a visionary confirmation that their sins were forgiven and that God called them to "witness" to others of the need for repentance.
		Lucy's History does not contain any comment about the difficulties she encountered with church leaders during the transitional period—troubles which, without doubt, were exacerbated by her son, William—but they are suggested in the few letters and second-hand accounts that have survived (Quaife, 246-48).
		Lucy is a model of the early nineteenth-century republican mother, a "moral mother" who displayed piety, dispensed values, shaped character at the domestic hearth, and brought up her sons in the paths of civic virtue.

	The Watchman Expositor: Who was Joseph Smith?
		The Joseph Smith of history is vastly different from the common Mormon perception and the current LDS Church presentation of him.
		While Smith was definitely influence by the general millennial fever of the 1830s he was specifically influenced by the predictions of William Miller, who's teaching gave a basis for today's Seventh Day Adventist.
		Smith, in 1835 during the time that William Miller was predicting the coming of Christ for 1844, prophesied the return of Christ at an ordination service of the twelve apostles in his new church.

		Under Smith, all of these communities became thriving towns and drew new converts from all over the world, until the members were driven out by angry mobs, often with the help of government leaders.
		Among Joseph Smith’s accomplishments is his contribution to the church’s scriptures, the dispatching of missionaries around the world and the organization and leadership of Nauvoo’s militia.

	Library -- An Introduction to Joseph Smith
		This lowered Smith's habeas corpus shield and made him liable for trial in courts outside Nauvoo, prompting state authorities to take him into custody—a process that concluded in late June 1844 when authorities arrested Smith and escorted him to jail in Carthage, Illinois, to stand trial.
		Joseph Smith's widow, Emma Hale, and members of the family rejected the bold steps of one of Smith's associates, Brigham Young, who as president of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles entered the leadership vacuum created by the prophet's death.
		However, Smith's esoteric theology crystallized as those under Young moved from private to public profession of practices that had caused controversy in Nauvoo, while those who stood by Emma and her sons chose to emphasize the Kirtland experience.

	Joseph Smith Summary
		Born in Sharon, Vermont, on December 23, 1805, Smith was the third of the nine children of Joseph and Lucy Mack Smith.
		Smith claimed that this book, named after its ancient American author and compiler, was the sacred history of the pre-Columbian inhabitants of America, migrants from the Near East, some of whom were the ancestors of the American Indians.
		Smith ostensibly made his gesture toward the presidency in order to avoid making a politically difficult choice between the two major parties, but he was also imbued with the millennial belief that if God wanted him to be president and establish Mormon dominion in the United States, no one could hinder him.

		Lucy was sixty-nine years old, afflicted, as she said, “by a complication of disease and infirmities” and still aching with loss.
		Of her six sons who had lived to maturity, five were gone, and with the exception of some sons-in-law, Lucy’s family was reduced to widows and fatherless children.
		While Mother Smith was probably frequently consulted during the entire composition, and she clearly gave her approval to the final version, certainly her biggest contribution had already passed.
