Plain Facts, Shewing the Origin of the Spaulding Story, Concerning the Manuscript Found, and Its Being Transformed Into the Book of Mormon: With a Sho (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781019418000)

Published in 1880, this pamphlet offers a detailed and often heated critique of the origins and validity of the Book of Mormon, a foundational text of the Latter-Day Saints movement. The authors argue that the Book of Mormon was not, as its adherents claimed, a divinely revealed scripture, but rather a fraudulent document that plagiarized and distorted earlier texts. Drawing on historical research and personal testimony, the pamphlet provides a vivid picture of the controversies and conflicts that surrounded Mormonism in the 19th century.
