INTRODUCTION.
.
IN presenting the Salt Lake City Directory and Business Guide for. 1869 to the public, it is necessary to briefly state the causes which have delayed its publication for several weeks beyond the time originally fixed upon for issuing it. In procuring the information contained in it much more labor was required, and longer time had to be devoted to it, than was at first believed would be necessary. The greater portion of the matter contained in it was also delayed on its transit to the printers 'by the heavy snow storms which impeded travel through the Rocky . Mountains in February and March.
No pains have been spared to make the work a reliable one for future reference; and every change of business which has occurred from the completion of the canvass for the Business Directory, up to the work being put to press, has been carefully noted as far as information could be obtained.
The compiler begs to express his obligations for favors received in obtaining information to the Hon. George A. Smith, historian ; A. W. Street, Enq., P. M., Salt Lake City; Robert Campbell, Esq., Recorder of Salt Lake City ; Jesse W. Fox, Territorial Surveyor General; Hon. L. E. Harrington, American Fork; and Walter Thompson, Esq., Ogden, County Clerk of Weber County.
Respectfully,
THE PUBLISHERS. 1

SKETCH OF MORMONISM.
JOSEPH SMITH, the founder of the organization, was born in Sharon, Windsor county, Vermont, December 23d, 1805. His father's name was Joseph and his mother's Lucy ; and their family consisted of six sons and three daughters of whom the future prophet was the third son. When he was in his fourteenth year his father moved to Manchester, Ontario county, New York, having previously resided four years in Pal- myra in the same county. While in Manchester, and during a religious revival, he was, as he states in his autobiography, the subject of religious impressions ; during which, while praying in the woods one day, he had the first vision, two glorious personages appearing to him, who com- muned with him. Some three and a half years afterwards, on the 21st of September, 1823, he had a second vision and received a communica- tion relative to the plates upon which the Book of Mormon was inscri bed. These plates, his history states, he obtained possession of on the 22d of September, 1827, from the place of their deposit, on the west side of a hill convenient to Manchester, the villege where he resided. The plates were enclosed in a box, covered with a stone, and had been there for some 1400 years, having been buried by an ancient inhabitant of this continent named Moroni. The characters on them had been principally inscribed by Mormon, hence the title of the work.
Being poor and with the work of translating the records before him, in his exigencies he obtained assistance from a gentleman named Martin Harris ; and in April, 1829, he made the acquaintance of Oliver Cowdery, a school teacher, who became his amenuensis, and the work of translat- ing commenced immediately. The Book of Mormons, was put in the hands of the printers; but before it was published a church was organ- ized on the 6th day of April, 1880, in the house of Mr. Peter Whitmer, Fayette, Seneca county, New York. Thus the Empire State not only produced the plates, from which the book was translated, but can claim the honor of the organization of that society which is the greatest prob- lem of the century. Six members composed this church on its organi- zation, a small beginning for the thousands into which it has grown and the power and influence acquired in the short space of thirty-eight years. The Book of Morman was published, preaching and proselytizing were prosecuted with vigor, though the missionaries of the new faith were mostly uneducated, and churches were raised up in a number of places in a few months.
Early in 1831 a settlement was made at Kirtland, Ohio, and this may be called the first " gathering-place " of the church-a central point to

"wards which all who received the faith should converge. In July of the same year a lot was selected and dedicated, for a Temple, at Independ- ence, Jackson county, Missouri. Here a printing press was set.in ope- ration and a periodical, the Evening and Morning Star, was published by Judge W. W. Phelps. Trouble broke out at Independence, between the settlers of the new faith and others inhabiting that region, and a mob tore down the printing office, tarred and feathered some of the prominent Mormons, abused others, and inflicted losses on the fraternity, in the de- struction of property, to a very large amount. The Mormons were obliged to leave, and most of them fled into and settled in Clay county, in the same state. The Jackson county mob influenced the citizens of Clay county, and after a time the refugees had again to leave, this time settling in unoccupied territory, which received the name of Caldwell county, as well as in Davis and other adjacent counties, in Missouri. In three years they made wonderful improvements in their new location, for industry has ever been a prominent characteristic of the organization- At this time they were viewed with suspicion by many pro-slavery citi- zens there, who classed them as abolitionists, many of them having com from states where the abolition theory was gaining ground. For this cause, and because their industrious habits conflicted with the dis- sipated customs of a class always too well known in frontier settle- ments, as well as for religious reasons, troubles again broke out and the entire Mormon community was compelled to leave the state. Their next · settlement was at Commerce, Hancock county, Illinois, where in a short time they built the city of Nauvoo, which was duly chartered by the state Legislature. They had built a temple at Kirtland, which was an immense effort in its size and costliness for so small and poor a body of people as they then were. But in Nauvoo one was commenced on a scale proportionately greater to correspond with their increased numbers, wealth and importance. This they finished, but before it was completed, their Prophet, Joseph Smith, and his brother Hyrum Smith, the Patri- arch of the Church, were murdered in Carthage, where they were im- prisoned on a charge of treason. The Missouri enemies of the prophet and his followers, had never ceased their efforts against him and his peo- ple, preferring charge after charge which were disposed of by the courts, he always obtained an acquittal ; until this last charge, when the mob would not wait for the result of a trial, but shot him and his brother dead while in prison under guard, wounding at the same time Elder John Taylor, one of the Twelve Apostles. They held Governor Ford's pledge for their safety at the time. This was on the 27th of June, 1844.
Soon after the Mormons were compelled to leave Illinois, and took up their line of march in February, 1846, for the then almost unknown west. That Fall and Winter the main body of the refugee Saints located in the neighborhood of the Missouri River, near what is now Council

Bluffs and Omaha, where temporary settlements were formed. Next Spring, President Brigham Young started westward with 143 pioneers, broke a road, forded streams and built bridges from the Missouri over the great plains and through the Rocky Mountains, arriving in Salt Lake Valley on the 21st of July, 1847. As soon after as possible the main body followed, a provisional State government was formed, gentle- men were sent to Washington to represent the new colony ; and in 1849 a Territorial government was granted to them for the Territory of Utah. Since that time they have prospered exceedingly ; their cities, towns and settlements number about two hundred with a population of nearly 150,000 souls. Besides these there are branches of the Church in many parts of the United States ; and in Europe the communicants of the faith number nearly 20,000. Their missionary efforts have been directed to every country where religious toleration would permit them to carry and disseminate their views. Most European and some Asiatic nations, as well as Australia and several of the Pacific Islands, have given prose- lytes to the faith; and almost all the old members of the Church are native born citizens of the Union, which still adds largely to the believers in the latter-day dispensation.
The Church is organized with a First Presidency of three ; a Coun- cil of Twelve Apostles ; a Patriarch ; a quorum of High Priests of in- definite number; sixty four quorums of Seventies ; an Elders' Quorum ; a Presidency of three and a High Council of twelve for each Stake of Zion ; a Presiding Bishop for the Church with two Counselors ; a Bishop for each Ward ; a Priests' quorum ; a Teachers' quorum ; and a Deacons' quorum.
The present authorities of the Church are :
Brigham Young, President ; George A. Smith his first and Daniel H. Wells his second counselor.
Orson Hyde, President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, and Orson Pratt, Sr., John Taylor, Wilford Woodruff, Ezra T. Benson, Charles C. Rich, Lorenzo Snow, Erastus Snow, Franklin D. Richards, George Q. Cannon, Joseph F. Smith and Brigham Young, Jr., members.
John Smith, Patriarch.
John Young, President of the High Priests' Quorum; Edwin D. Wooley and Samuel W. Richards counselors.
Joseph Young, President of the first seven Presidents of the Seven- ties, and Levi W. Hancock, Henry Harriman, Albert P. Rockwood, Horace S. Eldredge, Jacob Gates, and John Van Cott, members of the first seven Presidents of the Seventies.
Edward Hunter, Presiding Bishop, Leonard W. Hardy and Jesse C. Little, his counselors.
