1996 ~ Dan Vogel ~ Early Mormon Documents ~ 5 Volume Set

The set is very nice; all with dust jackets; all with clean text throughout; volume two has slight damage to the front cover of the dust jacket. Some of these volumes are very expensive to purchase individually; some over $200 each.

Dan Vogel’s Early Mormon Documents is a five-volume documentary series (published 1996–2003) that gathers and annotates hundreds of primary sources—such as letters, interviews, affidavits, and newspaper accounts—relating to the early life of Joseph Smith and the beginnings of the Latter Day Saint movement; rather than presenting a single narrative, the series provides a wide range of firsthand and retrospective perspectives, including both supportive and critical voices, with editorial notes that help contextualize each document’s origin and reliability, making it a key resource for scholars and readers who want direct access to the historical evidence surrounding Mormon origins.
