==Backman (1985): "On at least four different occasions, Joseph Smith either wrote or dictated to scribes accounts of his sacred experience of 1820"==
 
Milton V. Backman, ''Ensign'' (January 1985):
 
<blockquote>
 
On at least four different occasions, Joseph Smith either wrote or dictated to scribes accounts of his sacred experience of 1820. Possibly he penned or dictated other histories of the First Vision; if so, they have not been located. The four surviving recitals of this theophany were prepared or rendered through different scribes, at different times, from a different perspective, for different purposes and to different audiences.1 It is not surprising, therefore, that each of them emphasizes different aspects of his experience.<ref>Milton V. Backman, [https://www.lds.org/ensign/1985/01/joseph-smiths-recitals-of-the-first-vision?lang=eng "Joseph Smith's Recitals of the First Vision,"] ''Ensign'' (January 1985).</ref>
