Description
William Bickerton, the founding prophet of one of the largest Latter Day Saint denominations, has long been a figure shrouded in mystery. His life's work was marked by vision and perseverance, as he sought to build a community based on the original teachings of Joseph Smith.
Born into America during the Second Great Awakening, Bickerton's journey took him from one religious community to another, until he finally found the courage to establish his own church. Despite facing financial trials and internal strife, he remained committed to his vision, even when it seemed that all was lost.
This biography, carefully reconstructed by Daniel P. Stone, sheds new light on Bickerton's remarkable story, one that is both fascinating and instructive. As the prophet himself once wrote, "Oh that my words were now written! Oh that they were printed in a book!" - a testament to his enduring legacy.
