"Our missionaries are going forth to different countries, and in Germany, Palestine, New Holland, the East Indies, and other places, the typical of fact has been erected: No unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing, persecutions may rage, mobs may incorporate, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the fact of God goes forth boldly, nobly, and unbiased till it has penetrated every continent, been to every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every hearing, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished and the fantastic Jehovah shall say the work is performed." - Joseph Smith "I know just as well what to show this people and just what to say to them and how to proceed in order to bring them into the celestial kingdom...I have never yet preached a sermon and sent it out to the kids of men, that they may well not call Scripture. I want to have privilege of correcting a sermon, and it is nearly as good Scripture as they are worthy of. The folks have the oracles of God continuously." - Brigham Young Among all the many results in 19th century America who still left controversial legacies, it is hard to find one as influential as Joseph Smith (1805-1844), the founder of the The Chapel of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Mormonism, and the Latter Day Saint movement. Revered as a prophet on the level of Moses by some, reviled as a perpetrator of large-scale scams by others, what everyone can acknowledge is the fact that Joseph Smith founded a religious movement that played a crucial role in the arrangement of the Western world, especially in Utah.
