It was designed by John Fetzer and dedicated by George Albert Smith in 1945. When the Temple was announced in 1937, many of the locals saw it as the fulfillment of a prophecy that Wilford Woodruff made in the area in 1884: "Be not discouraged; be not disheartened, because God's blessing is upon this land. Yes, as I look into the future of this great valley, I can see temples - I can see beautiful temples erected to the name of the Living God where holy labors may be carried on in his name through generations to come." $35 C.R.

Rulon T. Jeffs (1909-2002) was the son of early Fundamentalist David W. Jeffs (1873-1953), who began following John Y. Barlow and Joseph Musser in 1938. When Rulon joined with the Fundamentalists, Musser told him that he was admitted on the strength of his LDS baptism, and no additional baptism was required. He married his first wife Zola Brown who was the daughter of future Apostle, Hugh B. Brown in 1939, and married a plural wife in 1941 (Zola divorced him soon after). In the following six decades he would marry 65 more, and father dozens of children. He was the Prophet of the FLDS Church from 1986 until his death.

Johnson (1888-1986) spent much of his childhood in Big Horn County, Wyoming, among family and friends, some of whom questioned the validity of the First Manifesto (1890). He became acquainted with fundamentalist ideas in 1928 after his brother Price introduced him to John Woolley in Centerville, Utah. Soon thereafter, after a number of unsuccessful proposals, he quietly entered plural marriage. In the following five decades he would marry at least 15 more, and father dozens of children.

Sanktpeterburg [Saint Petersburg, RUS]: Tip. M. Khana, 1872. First Edition in Russian. 415pp. Octavo [25 cm] Original 3/4 calf over blacked pebbled boards. Minor sporadic foxing throughout otherwise near fine. Title translates to: 'The life of the Mormons in Utah; or the Sacraments and Crimes of Mormonism.' Rare Russian imprint of Beadle's screed against Mormonism. We locate two institutional copies (LoC - LDSCHL). This is one of only two books in Russian listed in Flake/Draper and the only dedicated solely to the LDS Church (the other title: 'Puteshestvie po Amerike V 1869–1870,' is a travel narrative that includes ten pages devoted to Salt Lake City and the LDS Church). So, few copies of this work have surfaced, we assume that the print run was small. That this title was translated into Russian (only two years after the American first), shows the fascination that Utah held to the outside world. Flaker/Draper 348d. Rare. John Hanson Beadle(1840-1897), was a journalist and author who was born in Liberty township, Parke County, Indiana. As a youth of twenty-one he enlisted in the 31st Indiana infantry for the Civil War, serving as a private until 1862, when he was discharged for disability.

After Captain Jack's surrender at Willow Creek in June of 1873 the surviving Modocs were forced to relocate to the Quapaw Agency in Oklahoma. Carleton E. Watkins (1829-1916) was one of the finest photographers of the nineteenth century.

  • Religious Validity: the Sacrament Covenant in Third Nephi
    Religious Validity: The Sacrament Covenant in Third Nephi Richard Lloyd Anderson I have just nished another reading of the Book of Mormon, and what a wonderful rejuvenation this has been as vistas of doctrine open up. The spirit is a complex thing. It comes as it will, as Jesus said to Nicodemus (John 3:8). Sometimes you feel a burning and a warmth, and sometimes you feel a peace and clarity of thought. The latter is my experience in reading the Book of Mormon this time. In the rst reading I felt the warmth intensely. I can remember my impressions of specic chapters—for instance, Alma 42, where I could not put the book down for the intensity of the feeling of its truth. Years later I look back on a lifetime of historical study and writing. I now have experience with how history was written in many different periods. History is a record of both spectacular and commonplace events. So an authentic historical document may be dull, and the Book of Mormon has places like that. Having analyzed methods of ancient historians, I recognize the accuracy of the steps described by Nephi, Mormon, and Moroni in putting their documents together. Without any question, the Book of Mormon is a historically sophisticated book. A young person like Joseph Smith did not write it. When you add the spiritual clarity of the doctrine to that archival framework, the validity of the Book of Mormon is to me unquestionable. Full proof of the depth of the Book of Mormon and the Pearl of Great Price is that these books have held the attention of Hugh Nibley for a lifetime, with rich historical yields throughout ve decades of intense scholarship.

  • The Third Nephi Disaster: a Geological View
    The Third Nephi Disaster: A Geological View James L. Baer ne of the most vivid descriptions of the utter destruction of cities and Othe death of hundreds of thousands of people is found in 3 Nephi 8 of the Book of Mormon. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, and storms of incredible proportions destroyed the largest part of the whole nation. At least five interesting questions are raised by this description. 1. In what kind of geological setting would one expect these events to have occurred? 2. If such a disastrous scene were possible, could it conceivably have taken place within three hours, as described in 3 Nephi 8:19? 3. Are there any likely locations in America where it might have occurred? 4. Are there any presently detectable evidences that such an event actually happened? 5. Could such a disaster discriminate between the wicked and the righteous? As recorded in 3 Nephi 8, beginning with verse 5, the disaster was ushered in by "a great storm, such an one as never had been known in all the land." The storm was of such ferocity that thunder shook the ground and lightning started fires in the city of Zarahemla. The city of Moroni sank into the depths of the sea, and the earth buried the city of Moronihah. Many other cities were sunk, burned, or devastated. The ground surface suffered a general breakup: open fissures developed, and new hills and valleys formed (3 Ne. 5:8). These events took place in three hours and were followed by a foreboding darkness that the people could feel, a darkness so intense that fires could not be kindled and people were overcome and apparently suffocated (3 Ne.
