Saints, Volume 2 Now Available A special announcement for subscribers to the Joseph Smith Papers and Church Historian's Press newsletters:



The second volume of Saints: The Story of the Church of Jesus Christ in the Latter Days is now available for purchase from the church’s online store and at retail outlets. The digital version is also available for free in the Church History section of the Gospel Library app.



Illuminating more than forty years of global Latter-day Saint history, Saints, Volume 2: No Unhallowed Hand, 1846–1893 employs the same engaging style, fast-paced storytelling, and attention to historical detail that captivated readers of Saints, Volume 1: The Standard of Truth, 1815–1846.



Readers of No Unhallowed Hand can expect to learn more about the pioneers’ journey to the Salt Lake Valley, the expansion of missionary work to many nations, the struggle for Utah statehood, the Mountain Meadows Massacre, plural marriage, temple building and refinements to temple worship, the building up of the church in the Pacific, the Manifesto, the long-awaited dedication of the Salt Lake Temple after forty years of construction, and much more.



In addition to the narrative, readers of Saints can follow footnotes to read the actual source documents behind the stories. Scattered through the footnotes are references to Church History Topics, a collection of articles on hundreds of subjects found in the book. Topics are conveniently linked to in the digital version and can also be found on the church’s website. Included in these footnotes and references are a number of links to the Joseph Smith Papers that point to documents on the website and to the biographical directory. Several historians and editors with the Joseph Smith Papers Project also contributed directly to Saints, Volume 2.



The publication is available digitally in fourteen languages: Cebuano, Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Samoan, Spanish, Tagalog, and Tongan. Print editions for all languages other than English will be available within a few months.
