“Nothing Less Than Miraculous” The First Decade Of Mormonism In Mongolia, Steven C. Harper
“Nothing Less Than Miraculous” The First Decade Of Mormonism In Mongolia, Steven C. Harper
BYU Studies Quarterly
The Latter-day Saints' assumption of Christ's great commission—the command to teach and baptize all nations—can hardly be overstated as a motivational force for sending missionaries to far-away places to testify of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. An 1831 revelation authorized and empowered Joseph Smith to send missionaries "unto the ends of the world" and "to lay the foundation of this church, and to bring it forth out of obscurity" (D&C 1:23, 30). What better manifestation could be found of the power of these words than the events of the first decade of Mormonism in Mongolia, perhaps the most obscure …
The Story Of A Disciple's Life: Preparing The Biography Of Elder Neal A. Maxwell, Bruce C. Hafen
The Story Of A Disciple's Life: Preparing The Biography Of Elder Neal A. Maxwell, Bruce C. Hafen
BYU Studies Quarterly
The story behind my work on the biography of Elder Neal A. Maxwell actually began in 1976, when he invited me to take leave from Brigham Young University and work for two years under his daily direction in the new Correlation Department at Church headquarters. In later years, when I was an administrator and a teacher at Ricks College and then at BYU, I saw him often in Church Educational System meetings, where he was a key figure on the Church Board of Education.

Edward Partridge In Painesville, Ohio, Scott H. Partridge
BYU Studies Quarterly
For a short period in the 1830s, the town of Painesville, Ohio, played an important part in the development of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The town was a place of success for Mormon missionaries; it was a religious battlefield in which the Campbellites resisted the encroachments of the missionaries; it was the home of the Painesville Telegraph, one of the most virulent critics of Mormonism; and, finally, it was the home of Edward Partridge, a man who would play a critical role as the first bishop of the Church (fig. 1).
“Save The Emigrants” Joseph Clewes On The Mountain Meadows Massacre, Ronald W. Walker
“Save The Emigrants” Joseph Clewes On The Mountain Meadows Massacre, Ronald W. Walker
BYU Studies Quarterly
Occasionally a major, previously published document such as this one falls between the historical cracks and becomes virtually forgotten. Although Joseph Clewes's statement on the Mountain Meadows Massacre was published in 1877 and was widely discussed at the time, current scholars have made little or no use of it. Their omission is unfortunate.

“Thou Art The Man” Newel K. Whitney In Ohio, Mark L. Staker
“Thou Art The Man” Newel K. Whitney In Ohio, Mark L. Staker
BYU Studies Quarterly
In the early 1820s, Newel K. Whitney set up his first store in Kirtland, Ohio, in a little log cabin (fig.1). From such humble beginnings he created a thriving business that would later become central to the early history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. However, over time the holdings and contributions of the Whitney family in Kirtland were largely forgotten. It was in Kirtland where Joseph Smith arrived and reportedly said to Whitney, whom the Prophet had never met before, "Thou art the man."
