About the Book:Orson Hyde was chosen as an original member of the Council of the Twelve in 1835, when the Mormon Church first organized this governing body. Orson's most well-known accomplishment was as a Mormon missionary to Jerusalem (1840-1842) to dedicate the land for the return of the Jews. Civil authorities in Jerusalem invited the development of a five-acre hillside garden, in honor of Orson Hyde, which was completed in 1979.Participating in the Mormon drama of crossing the plains in the U.S. several times and settling the West, Orson was a colonizing leader in western Iowa, also in what became western Nevada, and in central Utah. He was a major figure in Utah's Black Hawk Indian War (1865-1872).Using facts, details and personal experiences never before in print, Myrtle Hyde, the Hyde family genealogist, has used diaries, letters, notes, documents, reports, articles, speeches and letters to present a real-life depiction of Orson Hyde, apostle, teacher, missionary, orator, scriptorian, journalist, editor, lawyer, judge, statesman, colonizer, and administrator; also the husband of eight wives, the father of thirty-three children. Contains an extensive Index and Bibliography. A Book Review:Juliana rated it & really liked it!This book offers a detailed and well-documented history of the LDS church as seen through the life and experiences of one of the original Twelve Apostles of this dispensation. So often the telling of church history ends with the arrival of the early pioneers in 1847 to the Salt Lake Valley, but I learned much more about the colonizing of Utah Territory and the Black Hawk Indian War from Orson's experiences than I'd know before. Orson Hyde was a brilliant man, a powerful orator, writer and leader; reading more about his conversion, missionary travels (including his famed trip to Jerusalem), family life, colonizing efforts, and personal sacrifices was fascinating. It is an honest telling of history, not shrinking from the telling of Orson's regrettable act in the fall of 1838 when in his own words he "let [the Prophet] Joseph down" and spent a some months away from the fellowship of the church." I also found the details of Orson Hyde's personal life and relationships with early church leaders intriguing and in some cases, surprising. His challenge with the Word of Wisdom, the divorce from his first wife, Marinda, in their later lives, the chastisements he received from Brigham Young are some examples. Nevertheless, throughout his life, Orson was called upon to make great sacrifices for the fledgling Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and did so with humility and devotion. Although he faltered early on, the experience seemed to strengthen his faith and determination to serve the Lord at all costs. The reader is left with the impression of a man dedicated to family, faith and the God he loved. Copyright © 2018-2023 TDM Inc. The photos and text in this listing are copyrighted.
