This essay introduces the reader to the narratives Richard L. Bushman, Joseph Smith, Rough Stone Rolling: A Cultural Biography of Mormonism's Founder (New York: Knopf, 2005), 75. Whether you think the man was a fraud or a Prophet of God, you have to admit, he's a fascinating character. His mother, Lucy Mack Smith was 30 years old. I went to B&N last night and bought a copy of Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling. Anyone seeking to understand Mormonism will have to grapple with the complexities surrounding this event and the stories told about it. His dad, Joseph Smith Sr, was 34. It was Lucy's fifth pregnancy, and fourth child. I've been reading about his life in Richard Bushman's book, “Joseph Smith, Rough Stone Rolling“. Joseph Smith's First Vision stories constitute a key element of contemporary Mormon self-conception. I was in the Vintage store today and saw this same exact Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling for .95. €�Read 'Mormon Enigma: Emma Hale Smith' or 'In Sacred Loneliness: The Plural Wives of Joseph Smith' or 'Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling' – three books written by Mormons.” — Sandra Tanner.
