This is the only biography of Joseph Smith written from interviews with his personal friends. Covering his entire life, it focuses on little-known facts surrounding the conspiracy at Carthage - - those who plotted Joseph s murder - by those who wanted him out of the way. George Q. Cannon's Life of Joseph Smith the Prophet is the first biography of Joseph written by a General Authority. Cannon, who served as counselor to prsidents Brigham Young, John Taylor, Wilford Woodruff, and Lorenzo Snow, had the unique advantage of hearing Joseph Smith's intimate friends recount their memories of the Prophet at length while those memories were still fresh.
