Abstract
Bernhard Herman Schettler strolled down the dusty streets of Salt Lake City for the first time in the autumn of 1861, after making the three and a half month journey from New York City. Having made favorable impressions on George Q. Cannon, Orson Pratt, and others as a young stalwart leader among the German and Swiss members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in New York, he was brimming with the possibilities of making a difference in Zion. Schettler was destined to make an impact; however, it was not the impact he had suspected in 1861.
