Testimonies for the Truth - Benjamin Brown - Bog

Benjamin Brown was an early and faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was among the "First 100" pioneers to enter the Salt Lake Valley, traveling with the Brigham Young Company in June 1848. He was also an early settler of Nauvoo, Illinois and once assisted the prophet Joseph Smith in evading a violent mob. As a bishop at Winter Quarters, he helped the members of his ward survive the harsh and unforgiving conditions that claimed the lives of several hundred saints. Testimonies for the Truth was first published in 1853, while Benjamin Brown was a missionary in England. However, Benjamin Brown lived until May 22, 1878, making his autobiography prematurely incomplete. This edition was compiled by direct descendants of Benjamin Brown and contains additional annotations, including his Farewell Address to the saints in England on March 23, 1855. Benjamin Brown left behind a large posterity that desires to keep his testimony preserved for future generations.
