Sobre este item
Cincinnati: Printed by R.P. Brooks, 1839.. 43pp. Original plain blue wrappers. Wrappers detached, else very good. In a half morocco and cloth slipcase. First edition, second issue. In 1838, Missouri governor Lilburn Boggs ordered: "The Mormons must be treated as enemies, and must be exterminated or driven from the State, if necessary." The author, John Portineus Greene (a brother-in-law of Brigham Young), was appointed to gather documentary evidence of the ensuing repression, some of which he witnessed personally, and which he published circa July 1839. "This gives the story of the expulsion from the Mormon point of view. The expulsion created such a wave of condemnation against the Governor and authorities of the state of Missouri that two years later the General Assembly of the state published DOCUMENT CONTAINING THE CORRESPONDENCE, ORDERS, &c. IN RELATION TO THE DISTURBANCES WITH THE MORMONS.... Greene's FACTS gives much material from the rare Assembly Document of 1841. Both are essential to the history of the Church" - Streeter.
This second state is distinguished by a titlepage with a different setting of type, omitting "or Latter Day Saints" from the title, and by having the plain blue wrappers rather than printed wrappers. There is also a difference in the signature markings; here page 25 is marked D, while in the first state it is marked C, although they are otherwise clearly the same setting of type. This copy descended through the family of the author. Also, a letter of provenance accompanies the book, written by a former owner who acquired the book in 1956. Only three copies of either issue have been traced at auction since 1968. This is the first copy this firm has handled. CRAWLEY 55. FLAKE 3710. GRAFF 1648. HOWES G382, "aa." MORMON FIFTY 10. SABIN 28606. STREETER SALE 2270.
