| Summary | "History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Volume 5" is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume provides a comprehensive examination of early events related to Joseph Smith, the founder of the Latter-day Saint movement, focusing on the period from May 1842 to August 1843. It details significant incidents including Smith’s challenges with Missouri authorities, the emergence of his doctrinal teachings, and various developments within the Church community during that time. The opening of this volume establishes the context for a tumultuous period in the history of the Latter-day Saints, marked by threats against Smith's life and mounting external pressures from state authorities. It introduces significant characters, such as Dr. John C. Bennett, whose actions and eventual departure from Nauvoo impact the community, and outlines pivotal events like the attempted extradition of Smith back to Missouri for his alleged involvement in criminal activities. Moreover, it hints at the doctrinal developments that occur during this time, including the introduction of endowment ceremonies and teachings on plural marriage, setting the stage for deeper exploration into both the personal and organizational struggles faced by Smith and the Church.
