Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 82: June 24, 1920 Extracts from the Private Journal of Orson Pratt; embracing interesting items concerning the journeying of the Latter-day Saints from the City of Nauvoo, until their location in the valley of the Great Salt Lake. Elder Pratt was called to America on important business in March, 1850, and did not return until near the end of July. During his absence Eli B. Kelsey was appointed to take charge of the publishing department, which he did, editing the Star quite ably and satisfactorily. Elder Franklin D. Richards, having been called again to the British mission, and appointed to assist President Pratt, arrived and entered upon that labor during the latter's absence, continuing until the release and departure of Elder Pratt, February, 1851, when he became president of the mission, and he had been nominally editor of the Star from the January number, beginning the thirteenth volume. The growth of the mission and increase in the circulation of the Star during the period of Orson Pratt's presidency was almost phenomenal. The membership increased in the sixteen months from August, 1848, when it was reported at to January lst, 1850, when it reached an increase of members. It is also stated in that report that about had emigrated. The re port for the following year shows that there were members January lst, 1851. There had been baptisms, and over one thousand emigrated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
