The Old Chest xdmined
by 400 Men.

While the Mormons were be-

mobs were in search of all the
published copies of the Book of
Mormon. When these were found
on person, or in his wagon, the
man would be tied to tree and
whipped,a and his books comfscat-
ed and burned.
Grandfather Emer Harris, who
was brother to Martin Harris,
one of the witnesses to the Book
of Mormon, was determined to
bring some of these books to
Utah. He cut off one end of this
old chest (Which you will notice
