This serialized history drew on the journals herein beginning with the 4 July 1855 issue of the Deseret News and with the 3 January 1857 issue of the LDS Millennial Star.
The labels on the spines of the four volumes read respectively as follows: “Joseph Smith’s Journal—1842–3 by Willard Richards” (book 1); “Joseph Smith’s Journal by W. Richards 1843” (book 2); “Joseph Smith’s Journal by W. Richards 1843–4” (book 3); and “W. Richards’ Journal 1844 Vol. 4” (book 4). Richards kept JS’s journal in the front of book 4, and after JS’s death Richards kept his own journal in the back of the volume.

Two days later, on 12 June, a group of some forty converts from Peterborough, New Hampshire, arrived in Nauvoo. According to notes later used in compiling JS’s history, Livingston and Goodridge visited with JS about establishing a cotton factory in Nauvoo. While Goodridge settled in Nauvoo, Livingston returned to Peterborough, where he became involved with manufacturing and railroad interests. The following year, a “Mr. Livingston” from Peterborough (possibly Jonas Livingston or his brother Frederick, who had similar interests) offered to finance a factory in Nauvoo.
