The Other Son, The Other Brother: The Forgotten Life and Epic Times of Samuel Harrison Smith

Summary: The first book to tell the story of the fraught and dangerous life of the brother of the most consequential religious leader in nineteenth-century America. Risking social rejection and his life, discover how Samuel Smith helped propel his brother Joseph Smith Jr.’s slight, local religious movement into a vibrant, national religion that would polarize a newly formed nation. The Other Son, The Other Brother reveals a wealth of little-known facts about Samuel, the Smith family, and Latter-day Saint history, and adds a vibrant chapter to the voluminous narratives on life in the early days of the United States.
