Among these are several highly significant sources that scholars have used over and over again in their attempts to reconstruct the
founding era of Mormonism, usually by focusing solely on content, without a deep appreciation for how and why a document was produced. This book offers case studies of the sources most often used by historians of the early Mormon experience. Each chapter takes a particular document as its primary
subject, considering the production of a document as an historical event in itself, with its own background, purpose, circumstances, and consequences. The documents are examined not merely as sources of information but as artifacts that reflect aspects of the general culture and particular
circumstances in which they were created. This book will help historians working in the founding era of Mormonism gain a more solid grounding in the periods documentary record by supplying important information on major primary sources.
