Analyzing Mormonism

16 Secondhand Accounts of the First Vision


Listen Later

Join America and me as we read over ten of the secondhand accounts of Joseph Smith's First Vision. The first five accounts that we go over are directly from the Joseph Smith Papers website. The next five come directly from the Journal of Discourses. 

Brigham Young, 1855 (Journal of Discourses vol. 2, p. 171)

Heber C. Kimball, 1857 (Journal of Discourse vol. 6, p. 29)

George A. Smith, 1868 (Journal of Discourses vol. 12, p. 334)

Orson Pratt, 1874 (Journal of Discourses vol. 17, p. 278)

John Taylor, 1879 (Journal of Discourses vol. 20, p. 167)

Additionally, I reference John Larsen a few times in this episode, this comes from Mormon Stories Podcast episode 1469.
