The Life and Times of Alexander Neibaur - Journey of the First Mormon Jew - 2nd Edition - Abridged, (Hardcover)

Imagine, the conversion of a Jewish man into Christianity. Now, imagine that same Jewish man converting to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Mormons! Such was the case and amazing story of Alexander Neibaur. The Hebrew journeyed from Prussia, to England, and after joing the LDS Church, took his journey over oceans, and eventually the plains of America to the Salt Lake Valley. Friend of the Prophet Joseph Smith, defender of the Prophet and his faith, Alexander took his young family into the desert valley that would become his home and the beautiful Salt Lake City, Utah. Studying the German bible with Joseph Smith, working on the building of the Nauvoo temple, defending the city, writing poetry and hymns, crossing the wilderness plains of America, becoming the first pioneer dentist of Utah and making Brigham Young's dentures, are only a small part of the fascinating journey, of Alexander Neibaur.
