Synopsis

Behind a seemingly unremarkable Latter-day Saint pioneer ancestry, the author discovered a truly remarkable collection of New England Pilgrims and Puritans, Virginia colonists, colonial Quakers, backcountry frontiersmen, and southern plantation and slave owners. English and Scandinavian immigrants joined this group of disparate forebearers later in the nineteenth century.

From the seeds of this religiously and culturally diverse group of early American ancestors emerged an equally diverse group of early members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

With a focus on historical and cultural context and drawing on academic literature as well as personal family histories, the book tells the fascinating story of these ordinary early Americans and Latter-day Saints in the extraordinary and tumultuous times of the founding of this country and the beginnings of the Latter-day Saint church.

Michael H. Hyer, an author and retired corporate attorney resides in Park City, Utah. His
previous books include Saints at War in the Philippines – Latter-day Saints in WWII Prison Camps (Deseret Books/BYU 2021).
