** "The Life of Joseph Smith, the Prophet" by George Q. Cannon is a historical record that explores the life of Joseph Smith, who started the Latter-day Saint movement, sharing his early life, sacred moments, and the tough times he went through while trying to bring back the Gospel. It's a story that shows Smith's good qualities and tells the story of how the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints began, starting with Joseph Smith’s ordinary background and the important spiritual events that influenced his purpose. The introduction talks about the lasting impact of Smith and his brother Hyrum, focusing on their deaths and clearing up wrong ideas about them. The story goes on to explore the strong religious feelings of the early 1800s, the big problems Smith and his family had, and the holy messages that guided him in starting his religion. **
