William Law: Biographical Essay. Nauvoo Diary. Correspondence. Interview
Orem: Grandin Book Company, 1994. Hardcover/dust jacket. 164pp. Not long after his arrival in Nauvoo, William Law (a Canadian convert) became a member of the First Presidency. Slowly, disagreements with Joseph Smith over political and other matters-most notably, he was opposed to plural marriage-until he was removed from the First Presidency and then excommunicated. Portions of this book appeared in slightly different form as articles in BYU Studies (apparently, Cook planned to issue an essay collection entitled The Gospel According to William at one point)-the diary and interviews are unique to the book. A very interesting piece on one of the most fascinating characters in Nauvoo-era Mormonism. Condition: Fine. Item #3551
