Reminiscent Histories

Histories of the Twelve Apostles

The LDS Church Historian’s Office prepared for publication in 1858 a history of each of the early members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. In cases where the subjects were available, they either wrote their own history or participated in the preparation of a sketch. In other cases, the historians prepared the history based on memory and on documents in their possession. In addition to the ones identified in the titles as the production of the subject, it is likely that Orson Hyde wrote his own and that Parley Pratt’s was based on his own autobiographical writings. After the Deseret News published the histories in 1858, the Millennial Star republished them in England in the 1860s.

Deseret News. “History of Brigham Young.” 27 January–24 March 1858.

Young’s history was a product of the efforts of the historians combined with his dictation to them. Evidence suggests that he assisted in the preparation of each of the several versions; he also approved the final manuscript. Three manuscript versions exist in the Historian’s Office Papers, Historical Department of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Church Archives, Historical Department of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Salt Lake City, Utah. This history can also be consulted in a modern printing: Manuscript History of Brigham Young, ed. Eldon Jay Watson (Salt Lake City: Elden Jay Watson, 1968).

Deseret News. “History of Thos. Baldwin Marsh. (Written by himself in Great Salt Lake City, November, 1857).” 24 March 1858.

Deseret News. “History of David W. Patten. (Compiled Principally from his own Journal.).” 24 March 1858.

Deseret News. “Synopsis of the History of Heber Chase Kimball.” 31 March–28 April 1858.

This is drawn from a manuscript that Kimball prepared in 1838 called the “History of Heber Chase Kimball by his own Dictation.” Several manuscript versions of this can be found in the Heber C. Kimball Papers, Church Archives, Historical Department of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Salt Lake City, Utah. These manuscript versions have also been cited as “The Journal and Record of Heber C. Kimball.” Before the Deseret News “Synopsis,” parts of this lengthy history were published. The portions dealing with 1834–1835 can be found in “Extract from the Journal of Heber C. Kimball,” Times and Seasons 6 (January–April 1845). Kimball’s report of his 1837–1838 mission to England was published by Robert B. Thompson as a pamphlet in 1840 and, with additions, was later republished as President Heber C. Kimball’s Journal, Seventh Book of the Faith Promoting Series (Salt Lake City: Juvenile Instructor’s Office, 1882).

Deseret News. “Sketch of the Auto-Biography of George Albert Smith.” 11–18 August 1858.

This was taken from an earlier production of Smith, partly based on journals and other documents, called “History of George Albert Smith by Himself,” manuscript, George Albert Smith Papers, Church Archives, Historical Department of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Salt Lake City, Utah.

Deseret News. “History of Lyman Wight.” 25 August 1858.
