If you posted a comment over the weekend, it probably got eaten by our server meltdown on Monday. We went back to a database version from late Thursday. We’re working on recovering the material posted over the weekend.

It would undoubtedly help people that stumble onto the book there. Just a thought. Julie: perhaps you should post your review under the listing at Amazon.

Certainly that's not a novel idea...is there somebody who refuted this idea and i'm unaware of it?

Signature is planning on publishing a three-volume history of Joseph Smith likely some time this year. Richard Van Wagoner is writing the first volume (NY period), Scott Kenney the second (Ohio), and Marti Bradley the third (Nauvoo). I haven't heard how the authors are coming along. Maybe some one else knows. Oh, Aaron, one more upcoming project.

The annual meetings of the Mormon History Association are a great place to learn about new projects. Ron Walker is the professor whose name escapes you. He is working on Mountain Meadows with Richard Turley, the managing director of the Family and Church History Department, and Glen Leonard of the Museum of Church History and Art. Richard Bushman's biography of Joseph Smith is scheduled for publication with Knopf this coming October. Givens himself is working on a history of Mormon cultural arts. You can learn more about it at his webpage. Aaron (#18). The annual meetings of the Mormon History Association are a great place to learn about new projects.

Threadjack: It occurs to me that I am less "in the know" about important LDS academic works than I used to be. The result of my no longer living in Utah, and having less time to devote to reading Mormon texts, no doubt. Someone at T&S should start a thread that deals with any and all up-and-coming LDS works that we should all be anticipating. Comments regarding certain works have been made here and there, but it would be great to see someone here enumerate what we should expect to see in print within the next 12 months. I'm sure there are a few bloggers here who would have valuable information to share in this regard. For example, Grant Underwood is involved in the Joseph Smith Papers project, and a definitive work on the Mountain Meadows Massacre by a BYU history prof (his name escapes me at the moment) is also in the works. What else can we expect in the world of Mormon Studies in the near future? Aaron B Great review, Julie.
