About book American Crucifixion: The Murder Of Joseph Smith And The Fate Of The Mormon Church (2014)

Having never read or heard anything about Joe Smith outside the realm of Mormonism, this account of his life and the early days of Mormons was pretty intense and wild, compared to the reverence and subtlety I was taught about him when I was a kid. I wonder how much of the book I can trust as a reliable source... Even though most of the stories are first hand accounts, I'm sure they were a bit skewed by the fact that most of the people they got information from hated the latter-day-saints, so they probably embellished and inflated their stories out of disdain. Otherwise it was an interesting history to read about. This book was fascinating. I have read numerous books on later history of Mormonism, but had never come across anything on the early days of Joseph Smith or his murder. When I saw it on my library shelf, I grabbed it. I found this book to be well documented and researched. There were moments of the book that kind of were sluggish. The majority of this book was jaw dropping and gave historical insights into current news events on LDS incidents.
