Historical literature on Mormon apostle William E. McLellin has been sparse, and much of what exists has been written only recently. The monumental bibliography Studies in Mormon History lists twenty relevant sources--a relatively small number--and the online update to the bibliography adds only two more entries after 1997. A little over half of this material was published after 1993; indeed half a dozen of the entries come from the 1994 volume in which BYU Studies and University of Illinois Press co-published McLellin's missionary journals. Of the ten entries predating 1993, only a handful are centrally about McLellin; in the others, he plays a minor role. [From the text]
