In this interdisciplinary work, William Davis examines Joseph Smith's 1829 creation of the Book of Mormon, the foundational text of the Latter-Day Saint movement. Davis examines both the fascinating cultural context for the creation of the Book of Mormon and the central role of oral culture in early nineteenth-century America.
