1840 — Extremely Important Rare Early LDS Book — Late Persecutions of The Church — Parley P. Pratt

You simply do not find this book anywhere!

Pratt, Parley P. Late Persecution of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Ten thousand American Citizens Robbed, Plundered, and Banished; Others Imprisoned, and Others Martyred for Their Religion With a Sketch of their Rise, Progress, and Doctrine.

By P. P. Pratt, Minister of the Gospel, “Written in Prison”

J W. Harrison, Printer: New York, 1840. 215 pages.

1/2 Leather Binding. The text is clean; a few pages have bent corners or small tears; some page were actually printed slightly crooked. This book was printed and out on the market four years before the Prophet Joseph Smith was murdered.

Binding is strong; text block is good; title page overall is nice but has some slight tearing and damage. But again, this book is extremely rare in any condition!

This book, about anti-Mormon persecutions, was published six years before the Expulsion of the Saints from Nauvoo and the burning of the temple. 

This book hits the market much less than the First Edition Book of Mormon!
