From Historian to Dissident: The Book of John Whitmer

by John Whitmer

John Whitmer served as LDS Church Historian from 1831 to his excommunication in 1838. His narrative is a valuable resource for tracing early Mormon history, particularly the "Mormon War" in Missouri. Here the Westgrens faithfully reproduce the entire, original document, supplementing the text with annotation.

[Christopher Angulo · Rating 5 out of 5]

The editing was fantastic (five stars). The text was that illuminating (3 stars), but it was fun to see how John Whitmer changed his tone about the Mormons after he was ex'd. The cover is FIRE!
