A Study of the Origins of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the States of New York and Pennsylania
Larry C. Porter
Addressing some of the most consquential yet esoteric subjects and
events in Latter-day Saint Church history, this 1971 dissertation makes
available items from early Mormon history never previously so
thoroughly documented. Specifically, Dr. Larry C. Porter carefully
delineates the dynamics of Joseph Smith's life and movement (and the
subsequent movement of the Church) in the context of the infant years
of the Church, an era whose documented treatment has been previously
obscure and sketchy.Too little is known of the infant Church while
it was in New York or many of many of the early converts who espoused
Mormonism. What was the background of their conversion? There is a need
for biographical data on these important individuals. What is our
understanding of the context in which the new movement grew? What was
the condition of the Church in the formative period and its status
prior to the removal of that body from New York? This study is
concerned with these important questions.
