This is a Book Review by Richard E. Bennett examine's Documents, 1 January–15 May 1844, Vol. 14 of the Documents series of the Joseph Smith Papers, Edited by Alex D. Smith, Adam H. Petty, Jessica M. Nelson, and Spencer W. McBride (Salt Lake City: Church Historian’s Press, 2023). Bennett explains the many merits and details provided by the publication, which puts knowledge once held privately into public hands. This includes Joseph's Smith's letters, journals, transcribed addresses, council minutes, and more. The comprehensive history also provides the necessary context to understand these sources. Although Bennett speaks highly of Documents, he offers some criticism at topics not sufficiently covered.
