520			_a"Succession in the Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" by Elder B. H. Roberts is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the leadership disputes within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints following the martyrdom of its founder, Joseph Smith. Specifically, it addresses the various claims made for succession to the presidency and the author’s intention of clarifying the rightful leadership during this critical period in church history. The beginning of this book sets a serious tone by establishing the context of conflict and contention after Joseph Smith's death. It introduces key figures like Sidney Rigdon, who sought leadership within the church but was met with opposition, particularly from Brigham Young and the quorum of the Twelve Apostles. The narrative outlines the discord among would-be successors and the divine principles that were believed to govern the process of church leadership, emphasizing the need for guidance and a testament from God. Through a careful examination of events, including meetings, speeches, and the contrasting qualities of those vying for leadership, Roberts aims to document the unfolding drama surrounding succession and the attempts to maintain unity and faith within the church during a time of turmoil.
