Joseph Smith: American Prophet

Joseph Smith (1805-44), the founder of the Mormon Church, is profiled. ""When so many were looking for answers to questions larger than life,"" says narrator Gregory Peck, ""[Smith] said that he had them."" But many disagreed, and the life of ""Brother Joseph"" - as chronicled here in readings, re-creations, and comments by historians (some of them Mormons) and LDS officials - was marked by frequent flights from enemies.
