Origin, Rise, and Progress of Mormonism. Biography of Its Founders and History of Its Church

by Pomeroy Tucker

Mormonsim, in its progress and maturity, has attained a conspicuous page in the annals of our century. Yet a full account of the remarkable sect, beginning with its origin and rise, and circumstantially disclosing the earlier designs and delusions of its founders, has hitherto remained unwritten. The facts and reminiscences contained in this volume, based upon the author's personal knowledge and information, are produced to fill the blank and supply the omitted chapters in Mormon history.

[Dana · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pomeroy is one of my distant relatives. Wasn't the "greatest book ever," but a good summary from the standpoint of someone close to the the history of the LDS church, but not constrained by the blinders of belief in Joseph Smith and the church.
