The Rise of the Latter-day Saints: The Journals and Histories of Newel Knight is a historical volume that publishes the early journals and recollections of Newel Knight, one of the first converts to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and a close associate of Joseph Smith. The book provides a firsthand account of the Church’s beginnings in New York and Ohio, including early missionary work, persecution, revelations, and the struggles of the first Latter-day Saint communities. Because Knight was personally involved in many foundational events, his journals offer valuable insight into the faith, organization, and challenges of the Church during its earliest years.
