Joseph Smith—History

Joseph Smith—History

"Joseph Smith—History" (abbreviated JS–H) is a book in the "Pearl of Great Price" that contains an autobiographical record of some of the early events in Joseph Smith's life. It is part of the canonized Standard Works of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The incidents described in "Joseph Smith—History" include the First Vision and the visitation of the angel Moroni. In its current form, it ends with the translation of the Book of Mormon, shortly before the foundation of Smith's Church of Christ, though the original newspaper serial it is based on continued the story until the mid-1830s.

The text of "Joseph Smith—History" was taken from Joseph Smith's "History of the Church" (also known as "Documentary History of the Church"), edited by B.H. Roberts and published in its current format in 1902.
