Mormon Studies   Like many sites, this one lists a lot of projected works and a lot of pages that turn out to have little or no content (!!), but John Corrill's important 1839 History of the Church of Christ of Latter Day Saints is complete and useful, also John Hyde's 1857 Mormonism: Its Leaders and Designs, William A. Lynn's 1902 The Story of the Mormons.

Bennett's 1842 History of the Saints, and other works including a lot of excerpts. Excellent site.
