Ebook: The Joseph Smith Papers: Documents, Volume 5: October 1835 - January 1838

The fifth volume of the Documents series, to be published in spring 2017, contains revelations, discourses, prayers, legal documents, personal letters, a map, and banknotes, among other documents. The volume chronicles a period in Joseph Smith's life marked by both exuberance and turbulence. Specific topics addressed in these documents include the completion of the House of the Lord in Kirtland, Ohio, and the attendant endowment of power; the forced migration of the Latter-day Saints from Clay County, Missouri; the economic collapse in Kirtland in 1837; and Joseph Smith's attempts to overcome dissent in the church.
