Although he is probably most known by non-Mormons as the man who led the church into the Salt Lake Valley way back in 1847, there is a side to this amazing man that many don't know. It's Pioneer Day today, the day we of the LDS faith commemorate the sacrifices the early pioneers made to trek to Utah where they could live in peace. So I thought I would share a bit of information about a man who not only was an early prophet and leader of our church, but a city builder, and amazing carpenter and wood worker.
As a young apprentice in a boat painting shop he created an invention to crush the dye used in making the paints.
He was a master carpenter and wood worker who built door fittings, carved mantle pieces and various pieces of furniture still found in the old homes around Auburn, New York.
Not only was he a wise leader, but he built homes cities. An amazing man that I thought I would share a bit about with you.
