Typescript from back of one photograph: Harmony Home. The home of Joseph and Emma Smith (center section) in Harmony, Pennsylvania, 1827-1830. Here much of the Book of Mormon was translated, and fifteen sections of the Doctrine and Covenants were received. Joseph Smith's parents visited here for a time, as did Martin Harris and his wife Lucy, who ransacked the house and grounds looking for the golden plates. Oliver Cowdery journeyed here to introduce himself to Joseph Smith, then stayed "--to sit under the sound of a voice dictated by the inspiration of heaven..." Joseph and Emma's first child, a baby boy, is buried a few hundred feet away. From the earliest photograph known (ca. 1880s), here reproduced for the first time. The house was destroyed by fire on the evening of June 23, 1919. Second in the series, "Coming Home." Limited to to twenty-five copies, of which this is Number 2. Rick Grunder - Books. Syracuse, New York. Copyright 1990.

Typescript from back of other photograph: Do They Know? Mennonite children play on the site where some of the earliest Latter-day Saint services were held in "Whitmer's School House," 1830-1831 (corner of Miller and County House Roads, Fayette, New York). In the background (looking south), one sees the woods into which Joseph Smith and the Three Witnesses retired to see Moroni and the golden plates of the Book of Mormon, the translation of which was completed on this farm. First in the series, "Coming Home." Limited to twenty-five copies, of which this is Number 2. Rick Grunder - Books. Syracuse, New York. Copyright 1989.
