Martin Harris Biography
The first serious biography of Martin Harris is now available from BYU Studies.
Written by seasoned historians Susan Easton Black and Larry C. Porter, this book tells the story of a man who conversed with an angel and had prophetic revelations directed personally to him D&C 5. Without Martin's timely $50 ($1,225 in 2017 dollars) here and $3,000 ($73,536 in 2017 dollars) there, we would not have the Book of Mormon as we enjoy it today. Martin was a man subject to the same desires & appetites we all share. He became disenchanted with the Prophet Joseph and fell away from the Church for a season, returning to the fold late in life.
