Samenvatting:

The Other Son, The Other Brother, is 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.
