The Autobiography of Parley Parker Pratt by Parley P. Pratt

"The Autobiography of Parley Parker Pratt" by Parley P. Pratt is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work chronicles the life and ministry of Parley Parker Pratt, one of the early apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, detailing his travels, religious insights, and personal experiences from his youth through his service in the burgeoning church. The narrative serves as both a reflection on his dedication to the faith and a historical record of the early Latter-Day Saint movement. The opening of the autobiography sets the stage for Pratt's life, beginning with a preface that outlines the task of compiling his work, written under the guidance of his son after his father’s death. Pratt describes his upbringing in New York, emphasizing his strong moral education, love for reading, and the spiritual questions that plagued him during his youth. It reflects his journey westward and personal resolve to establish a life aligned with his religious convictions. This introduction highlights the conflicts he faced as he navigated various religious traditions and ultimately points toward his conversion to Mormonism, detailing the foundational experiences that would shape his future as a missionary, a church leader, and an advocate for the faith.
