The Story of the Mormons

The Story of the Mormons is a historical account written by William Alexander Linn that examines the origins and early development of the Latter-day Saint movement, commonly known as Mormonism. The book traces the life and claims of Joseph Smith, the formation of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the migration of its followers under Brigham Young to Utah. Linn also discusses key events such as the publication of the Book of Mormon, early conflicts in Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois, and the eventual establishment of a Mormon community in the American West.
