Back Cover States:

Published for the first time in their entirety, the personal diaries and journals of Mormon founder Joseph Smith (1805-44) provide an unequaled view of this controversial American religious leader. Precious compilations have drawn from carefully selected and sometimes rewritten passages of Smith’s diaries and journals. In the present, unexpurgated edition, Smith emerges as believable and human, willing to allow both descendants and followers a complete look at his beliefs and personality.
