Statements on Oliver Cowdery and a Mormon pioneer company [microform]:
Manuscripts
Microfilm of two brief statements on Mormon history made by Samuel W. Richards. The first gives a short account of Oliver Cowdery. The second describes Richards's learning while he was at Nauvoo in 1844 of the formation of a pioneer company intended to "find a suitable place for the Saints to move to where they could rest for a time from the constant harassing and persecutions to which ... [they] were then being subjected." Richards writes of council meetings involving Hyrum Smith and Sidney Rigdon and of the pioneer company's intentions to travel to California and Oregon, "if deemed necessary," since it was "thought Lower California would offer the greatest inducements for locating a city for the Saints." The whole is addressed to B.H. Roberts, Salt Lake City.
