History of Joseph Smith by His Mother: THE UNABRIDGED ORIGINAL VERSION with ADDED ROUGH DRAFT By Lucy Mack Smith (2005), compiled by R. Vernon ... Historical Background by Richard Lloyd Dewey

"The BEST VERSION YET of Lucy's book." -- Richard Lloyd Dewey

3 reasons why:

1) It takes the ORIGINAL 1853 PUBLISHED VERSION, UNABRIDGED, and puts it in clean, modern type. A staff of editors spent months meticulously re-typesetting this work to make it free from O.C.R. and other errors found in most other versions.

2) It also ADDS HER ROUGH DRAFT, missing from the published edition, and plugs it into the right spots in a separate typeface. This easy-to-read format is innovative and flows easily for the reader.

3) It contains FOOTNOTES OF ALL THE CHANGES MADE BY EDITORS and church historians over the years.
