Bob there are a whole bunch of them. Views of the Hebrews (Ethan Smith), the King James Bible (with translation errors intact no less), mixed with his
anti-masonic tendancies, and love of fucking other peoples wives. There is also the less supporting Spalding theory. The region that spawned mormonism also
rang richly with Millerites, the Fox Sisters, Shakers, Oneida Society, etc. Check out the works of Whitney Cross and Fawn Brodie.
The contemporary accounts are rather damning to Joe Smith's fictional crap-fest.
But that should be, and is, obvious by actually reading it.
Cheer,
Shayne
