http://firstvisiontimeline.comWhen I first discovered that there were inconsistencies in the story Joseph Smith told of his first vision, I began researching as much as possible on the subject to get the real story. This site is the result of my efforts.
The site is designed to compare Joseph Smith's accounts with everything else we have on parallel timelines. That way it's easy to see where the timelines agree and differ and how the story evolved and when. Much of this information will not be new to anyone who has read about the first vision accounts and how they line up with historical records, but you probably haven't seen all the source material to back it all up, which I have linked all over the place inline with the text.
I have tried my best to make it neutral. I'm hoping that it can be shared with anyone interested in the First Vision so that the real story can be told in a (kind of) concise and visually appealing way.
If you have any suggestions for improvement or accuracy, please let me know.
Special thanks to kimball and H. Michael Marquardt for assistance with tracking down images of original documents.
