Joseph Smith was a 19th century American founder of Mormonism and is often considered to be the first prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Bushman uses personal experiences and historical evidence to give accounts and opinions about how Joseph Smith founded his religion.

Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormon Church, is one of America's most famous religious figures. Joseph Smith was born in 1805 to Lucy Mack Smith and her husband, Joseph Sr. who was known as a lazy farmer. Joseph Sr. was not very involved in his son's activities and taught him only what he needed for survival. After learning about Christianity from a neighbor, Joseph Jr.'s family embraced it and began reading its scriptures during winter nights in their home before bedtime. This led to Joseph Jr.'s baptism at age 14 as well as religious visions that continued throughout his life. In 1830, with three faithful friends in tow, he marched back to Hiram, Ohio where he had been baptized to find out why they had been publicly excommunicated by the Baptists without warning or justification. It was then that the First Vision happened when a heavenly messenger revealed himself and told Joseph Jr., "The Lord suffereth the righteous to be put away because of their wickedness" (Bushman 2).
