Following many heavenly visions in upstate New York
and Pennsylvania, Joseph Smith shared firsthand details
of the life-changing events four different times. These
accounts, documented both personally and by those with
whom he shared his experience, comprise some lesserknown historical insights of the Prophet Joseph. Now,
for the first time, each of the four main accounts of the
Restoration of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints has been compiled into one historical narrative,
allowing for a more complete understanding of Joseph
Smith’s character and testimony.
In Joseph Smith’s Histories in Harmony, readers are
presented with a rich and comprehensive account of the
events preceding Joseph’s visions—from the early years
of the Smith family to the day the Church was restored.
Taken together, these four first-person narratives will
enable readers to experience the early life of Joseph Smith
as never before—in his own words.
