INTRODUCTION
"This history of the Prophet Joseph Smith, originally entitled, 'The History of Mother Smith, by Herself,' was written at the dictation of Lucy Smith, mother of the Prophet, by Mrs. Martha Jane Knowlton Coray, who acted as her amanuensis. It was taken from the words of Mother Smith and dictated from memory mostly, but she also made use of such historical memoranda of the events related as were within her reach. Of the original manuscript one copy was taken which was left with Lucy Smith, while the original was retained by the writer. This original, Mrs. Coray held in her possession until her arrival in Utah, when she subsequently deposited it with President Brigham Young."

Part 2
No title page, just jumps right in.
Condition: Very good condition. Spine and covers don't look very worn, just a couple tiny scuffs here and there. Inside pages all look neat and clean. Small pencil inscription on page, but otherwise no creases or tears.
