historiography done right

For anyone who seeks a reliable analysis of early accounts of Joseph Smith Jr.'s formative years, and the various critiques of those sources, this is a must-read. I found the reproductions of primary sources in the appendices to be particularly useful; especially so in verifying that the Mormon writer Nibley very much misrepresented these sources, so as to discredit the damning accounts gathered by Hurlbut.
