Emma's Family
This book contains Emma Smith's correspondence with family members. During the course of her life in Nauvoo after her first husband Joseph Smith's death, Emma wrote and received many personal letters to and from family members including Julia Murdock, Joseph Smith III, Alexander H. Smith, David H. Smith, Frederick G. W. Smith, and Major Lewis Bidamon.
Eighth Witness
John Whitmer one of the most familiar names in early Mormonism. As one of Joseph Smith's earliest supporters and associates, John was a member of one of the founding families of Smith's Restoration movement. He was also one of the eight witnesses to the authenticity of the Book of Mormon, Mormonism's founding document. His name is reproduced in each of the millions of copies of that work that exist in dozens of different editions. Many know no more than his name, but the better informed likewise know that he also became wary of Joseph Smith and Mormonism, turned his back on what had been a sublime adventure, and thus became a cautionary tale to the faithful. John Whitmer's rise and fall within Mormonism is an exhilarating narrative, his conversion very much a movement of his family into the new church. Paralleling this movement, his exodus out of Mormonism was also a clan movement as the Whitmers, after less than a decade, experienced difficulties with Joseph's leadership.
Alexander
The third son of Joseph and Emma Smith to live to adulthood was born at Far West, Missouri, in 1838. Alexander moved to Nauvoo, Illinois, as a child and lived there half of his life. Alexander served as an apostle, a member of the First Presidency, and as presiding patriarch of the RLDS Church. Much of Alexander's missionary ministry focused on the U.S. far west, including California and Utah. He also performed a South Pacific mission to Tahiti, Australia, and Hawaii. He died in the Nauvoo Mansion House in 1909. In this documentary history, Ronald E. Romig paints a vivid picture of Joseph and Emma's "Far West" son using contemporary writings and images.
Lucy's Nauvoo
Lucy Mack Smith, mother of the Mormon prophet, lived on for twelve years after her son's death. She continued to live in Nauvoo, Illinois, long after most Mormons had abandoned the city. This brief, illustrated history tells the story of Lucy's life in Nauvoo.
