In the year 1805, Lewis and Clark reached the west coast of the American continent; incredible advances in science and philosophy were beginning to take place; and Joseph Smith was born. In subsequent years, God the Father and Jesus Christ appeared to Joseph Smith. This was a time during which kings and queens would rise and fall from power, but the kingdom of God, restored by this humble farm boy, would grow and fill the earth. Complete with details of concurrent world events, timelines, hundreds of firsthand quotes, personal journal entries, and more than four-hundred color and black-and-white images, this book offers a unique and unequaled insight into Church history—from detailed biographies of modern prophets to less-familiar stories, such as how George Albert Smith saved the Salt Lake Tabernacle from destruction.
