Inside back cover: Come, Hear a Prophet’s Voice, by Glen Edwards. President Brigham Young with the Camp of Israel, the advance company of pioneers, trekked to the Great Salt Lake Valley in 1847. On 14 January 1847 the Lord instructed the Saints in a revelation to President Young: “Let all the people of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints … be organized into companies, with a covenant and promise to keep all the commandments and statutes of the Lord our God” (D&C 136:2).
