‘History of the Mormons’ is a mid-19th-century book known for being one of the most thorough and detailed account of the establishment and rise of Mormonism in the United States. Edited by Samuel M. Smucker, this work provides details on the prophecy of Joseph Smith, the composition of the Book of Mormon, the journey westward, various addresses by Brigham Young, and descriptions of Mormon settlements in Utah.

Like many 19th-century Mormon histories, this book discusses specific Mormon doctrines such as polygamy, the use of the Bible, instances of incestuous relationships, and the responsibilities of a man’s first wife in a polygamous marriage.

This 1856 edition includes 12 sketch illustrations of Joseph Smith, Mormon temples, ceremonies, and settlements at Great Salt Lake.
