Perhaps THE most inflammatory and/or controversial book in the history of the United States…
A new religion…an American religion…the Mormon religion. The concept has been loved and hated since
its inception in the early 19th century, with violence and death
being doled out by both sides, non-Mormon and Mormon alike. Whatever your faith may be, Mormonism is a
uniquely American product, and takes its place in the fabric of our nation. This is a first edition copy of its original
holy book…written by Joseph Smith and published in 1830. Incidentally, the printing press used to
print these first copies was destroyed and the religion’s leaders and followers
were forced to flee for their lives…folks didn’t take kindly to new concepts
that challenged their faith…
Whatever you believe, you must admit…from the beginning…the
Mormon faith has been controversial…at an almost visceral level…
