Summary "History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Volume 2" is a historical account written in the early 20th century, specifically published in 1904. This volume continues the narrative of the early Latter-day Saints' journey, focusing on key events, challenges, and expansions of the Church, particularly around the activities in Kirtland and Missouri, during the 1830s. The text provides a detailed chronicle of the life and mission of Joseph Smith, the Prophet, and outlines the Church's organizational developments, struggles against persecution, and revelations that were instrumental in shaping the faith. The opening of Volume 2 sets the stage for the year 1834, emphasizing the Saints' difficulties in Missouri and the ongoing efforts of their leadership in Kirtland. It introduces significant incidents, such as the excommunication of a dissenting member, mob threats, and the coordinated prayer efforts of Church leaders for protection and guidance during this tumultuous period. Additionally, the chapter outlines the onset of Zion's Camp, a pivotal mission aimed at redeeming Zion, which forms a central theme for the volume. This early portion provides insight into the challenges faced by the early Church members and underscores the spiritual resilience of their leaders amidst adversities.
