The orgin of Mormonism and reminiscences of the Mormons in Illinois / by J.H. Sherman.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122497103

Prepared typescript of a series of ten articles written by J.H. Sherman, a resident of Carthage, Illinois, which appeared in the Ithaca Daily Journal during April and May, 1886. The articles, decidedly anti-Mormon, tell of Joseph Smith's early life, the Solomon Spaulding manuscript from which Smith supposedly got the idea for the Book of Mormon, the organization of the Latter-day Saint Church, the settlement of the Mormons in Nauvoo, Illinois, death of Joseph Smith, mob violence in Illinois, expulsion of the Mormons from Nauvoo, and their subsequent immigration to Utah.

25 p.
