Book Description
Zwickau, GER F. Ullmann 1967 Hardcover Reprint Six volumes in Five. 582, 578-958, 383, 385-767, 769-1135pp. Octavo [24.5 cm] Volumes bound in a 1/4 gray leather with cream boards and red leather labels on backstrips. All volumes in Near fine condition. These reprints are the entire run of the influential Nauvoo newspaper. Published monthly or twice monthly. Originally edited by Robinson and Don Carlos Smith (Joseph's brother). Upon the death of his brother, Joseph became editor. The Times and Seasons was the official newspaper of the L.D.S. Church, and between it's pages were the first appearances of the Wentworth Letter, the Book of Abraham as well as the personal history of Joseph Smith. One cannot hope to understand the Nauvoo period of Mormonism without the 'Times and Seasons'. More than its predecessors, it captures the spirit of the Latter-day Saints as it chronicles their day-to-day efforts to spread their message and gather the converted. Its pages reflect the optimism, which fueled the building of the City of Joseph and the sorrow, which accompanied it's abandonment.
