Kirtland, Ohio, was the first major gathering place in early Mormonism and it is home to the first Mormon temple. Although most of the Latter Day Saints left in 1837, a small congregration remained, including none other than Martin Harris.

Martin Harris was one of the first converts to Mormonism. He acted as one of Joseph Smith’s scribes during the translation of the Book of Mormon and mortgaged his own farm to pay for the book’s publication. His testimony as one of the THREE WITNESSES has been printed in every edition of the book.

This documentary history follows the life of Martin Harris and explores the history of the temple and the Saints who remained in Kirtland through contemporary letters, journals, interviews and newspaper accounts.
