Joseph Smith's New York Reputation Reexamined RODGER I. ANDERSON Paperback. 184 Pages. / 0-941214-81-8 / $9.95 Since the early 1830s Mormons and non-Mormons alike have tried to make sense of the varied recollections of Joseph Smith's New York neighbors. Together with autobiographical accounts, these important sources comprise almost everything known about the young prophet and his family during the 1820s. In this perceptive new study, Rodger Anderson includes accurate transcripts of these firsthand reminiscences (some of which are published here for the first time), evaluates the validity of their claims, and discusses the lively debates they have engendered. Rodger I. Anderson is a native of Salt Lake City and graduate in philosophy from the University of Utah. He currently resides in Oklahoma, where he is a free-lance writer specializing in nineteenth-century religions. His current research interest is the history of American spiritualism. |
