Joseph Smith: Presidential Candidate

by Arnold K. Garr

Joseph Smith's campaign for President of the United States is one of the most fascinating, yet least understood, events in the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. This book brings the Prophet's presidential run to life with timely insights into questions that have heretofore received little attention.

Excellent information for the research I'm currently engaged in. The only problem with the book was that there were entire passages copies word for word in more than one location in the book, something was was very distracting and perhaps a bit lazy on the author/editor's part.

[Ethan Unklesbay]

Interesting book.
The writing was lazy and repetitive.
I don't feel this book belongs anywhere near a series called "Setting the Record Straight", because hardly anyone knows anything about Joseph Smith's presidential candidacy in the first place. It's not like there are a host of rumors and misconceptions that need to be cleared up.

Very interesting, not just about the presidential campaign, but also about the political activities of Joseph Smith. A good companion to another book I read this year, Joseph Smith for President.
