Rediscovering the Sites of the Restoration: The 1888 Travel Writings of Mormon Historian Andrew Jenson, Edward Stevenson, and Joseph S. Black
Salt Lake City: RSC/Deseret Book, 2015. First printing. Hardcover/dust jacket. 294pp. On September 6, 1888, three Church history missionaries Andrew Jenson, Edward Stevenson, and Joseph S. Black left on a factfinding mission to the Churchs historic sites in Missouri, Illinois, New York, Ohio, and Iowa. They spent a majority of their time visiting the sacred spaces of the Restoration. The observations they made became the subjects of a lengthy correspondence to the Deseret News. These letters were later compiled into a pamphlet, allowing the Saints in the West to vicariously experience the early days of the Restoration. Some notable historical themes in their observations include a desire for the establishment and redemption of Zion and the promise that righteous Saints would be restored to their lands to build up Zion.
