The Coming of the Mormons
Immerse yourself in the tale of 'The Coming of the Mormons', an account of the arduous journey undertaken by the Mormon wagon train in the harsh winter of 1846. Led by unwavering faith and a quest for religious freedom, these earnest pioneers embarked on a treacherous two-thousand-mile trek across the untamed wilderness to the barren lands of Salt Lake Valley. With vivid prose, Jim Kjelgaard skillfully narrates the extraordinary migration, offering a profound glimpse into the unwavering spirit and resilience of these early American settlers.

Late one night in 1823, Joseph Smith, Jr., was reportedly visited in his family's farmhouse in upstate New York by an angel named Moroni. According to Smith, Moroni told him of a buried stack of gold plates that were inscribed with a history of the Americas' ancient peoples, and which would restore the pure Gospel message as Jesus had delivered it to them. Thus began the unlikely career of the Book of Mormon, the founding text of the Mormon religion, and perhaps the most important sacred text ever to originate in the United States. Here Paul Gutjahr traces the life of this book as it has formed and fractured different strains of Mormonism and transformed religious expression around the world. Gutjahr looks at how the Book of Mormon emerged from the burned-over district of upstate New York, where revivalist preachers, missionaries, and spiritual entrepreneurs of every stripe vied for the loyalty of settlers desperate to scratch a living from the land. He examines how a book that has long been the subject of ridicule--Mark Twain called it "chloroform in print"--Has more than 150 million copies in print in more than a hundred languages worldwide. Gutjahr shows how Smith's influential book launched one of the fastest growing new religions on the planet, and has been featured in everything from comic books and action figures to feature-length films and an award-winning Broadway musical.--Publisher.
