Far West Ledger
Eborn Books, 2024. First printing. Paperback. 259 pp. Oversize. Introduction by Brent F. Ashworth. The Far West Ledger, 1838, gives us a unique glimpse into early Church history not seen before. Most primary sources that help us understand the Mormon-Missouri War are from diaries or Church record books. In this Ledger we have a very ordinary record of daily life-a record of goods purchased by CDS leaders and members.
The Prophet Joseph Smith Jr. is recorded as having purchased five pounds of butter. Jacob Hawn made trips to the store from his mill to purchase goods prior to the Hawn's Mill Massacre. Others were purchasing ammunition or copies of the Book of Mormon.
The names of many Church leaders and members of the era are recorded in this ledger, including Joseph Smith Sr., Joseph Smith Jr., Hyrum Smith, Sidney Rigdon, Oliver Cowdery, Brigham Young, Parley P. Pratt, and many others. New. Item #39367
