The Writings of Oliver Olney: April 1842 to February 1843 - Nauvoo, Illinois

"Oliver H. Olney is, by all accounts, one of the most obscure figures in the history of the restoration. Eclectic in his theological interests, and professing prophetic gifts to rival those of any leader in this dispensation, Olney's writings present a view of the restored gospel that is provocative, curious, and even (at times) humorous--as he prophesies, chastises and opines about the Church, its leaders, its doctrine and future. Representing years of research and careful transcription, this annotated collection of The Writings of Oliver H. Olney is an important contribution to the body of Latter-day Saint history--and belongs on the shelf of every serious historian." -- Alonzo L. Gaskill, professor of Church History and Doctrine, Brigham Young University
