"The objective of this work is to present a source-driven portrait of important aspects of JS's life based on extant primary records, a significant portion of which have only been readily available since publication of the Joseph Smith Papers. As will be emphasized throughout the study, the documentary record serves as both an enabler and constrictor framing the breadth and limitations of what can and, to a degree, what cannot be said about the Mormon prophet. The early chapters are designed to emphasize the rudiments of historiographical application that are necessary in appraising his life." [Author]
