The Autobiography of Parley P. Pratt

Parley P. Pratt, born April 12, 1807, was one of the important early leaders of the LDS church. His influence is felt not only through his work as one of the first apostles called in this dispensation, but also through his missionary work, writing, poems, and hymns. After being baptized around September 1, 1830 by Oliver Cowdery, he was soon called on a mission by the prophet Joseph Smith. This was the first of many such missions that Pratt served. He was a member of Zion?s Camp and served as a missionary in Canada, the southern United States, and the United Kingdom. This book gives his history in his own words. The testimonies Pratt shares of the Gospel, particularly of the Book of Mormon, are inspiring. We hope this book and the amazing experiences of Parley P. Pratt?s life will serve to strengthen the testimonies of all who read it.
