Summary: "History of the Prophet Joseph by His Mother" by Lucy Smith is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book provides a personal narrative detailing the life of Joseph Smith, the founder of the Latter Day Saint movement, as recounted by his mother, Lucy Mack Smith. The work not only chronicles the life of Joseph but also delves into the family's lineage, their struggles, and the spiritual experiences that shaped them. The opening of the book establishes the context of Lucy Mack Smith's account and the circumstances surrounding its creation. It reveals that the history was initially dictated to an amanuensis, Martha Jane Knowlton Coray, mostly from memory, with some historical references. Additionally, it discusses the manuscript's journey, revisions, and the motivations behind its publication. In the first chapters, it introduces Solomon Mack, Lucy's father, and gives insights into the lives of Lucy’s siblings and family, setting the stage for the later chapters that will focus on Joseph Smith's life and the foundational events of his prophetic mission.
