Book of Gold

The Book of Gold focuses on the events that transpired between 1827-1830, from the eventful moment when Joseph Smith retrieves the plates of gold from the Hill Cumorah to the subsequent publication of The Book of Mormon. The story revolves around Joseph, his family, and the people most intimately involved with the translation process. As librettist Glen Nelson aptly describes, it contains the "tension of lost manuscript pages, infant death and lurking dangers of mobs, boycotts and naysayers."Nelson, Glen is the author of 'Book of Gold ', published 2005 under ISBN 9780850510157 and ISBN 0850510155.
