Abstract
The idea for this project came about as I, a descendant of Parley P. Pratt, realized I knew very little about him, his life, his family, and only a very small portion of what he contributed to the founding and history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As I gained an interest in him and his life and looked for available information on him, I realized it is at a high reading level and not easily accessible to descendants or the general church populace. As the ideas for a book to provide information about Parley P. Pratt’s life began to take shape, my major goal was to provide facts in such a way that anyone desiring to learn more about Parley P. Pratt would be able to use it as an easy and interesting reference tool to help this early pioneer and church leader to come alive in the hearts and minds of people of all ages everywhere.
