Cook, Lyndon W.

Joseph C. Kingsbury, A Biography

Provo: Grandin Book, 1985. Hardcover. 272pp. Pages 19-50 missing (147-78 duplicated in their place)--supplied in photocopy.

Kingsbury was an early convert to Mormonism, being baptized in Kirtland in 1832. He was witness to all the major events of Mormon history, having married the daughter of bishop Newel K. Whitney. Perhaps his most notable contribution came in 1843 when he copied the revelation on plural marriage—this copy was later used for official purposes and publication. Cook’s treatment of Kingsbury draws on journals, several life histories written by Kingsbury and other primary sources. Condition: Near very good. Item #1595
