Author: Ivan J. Barrett
About Product:
Seldom in Church history does a figure emerge with such compelling strength, diversity of character, and raw bravery as Ephraim Hanks. Fascinated by the man, Ivan J. Barrett researched journals and read old letters and accounts written about him. Ivan began to dream of a more complete telling of Ephraim’s incredible story, and this book is the fulfillment of that dream.
Ephraim Hanks was converted to the Church under conditions of extreme sacrifice. His unfailing devotion to the leaders of the Church, particularly Brigham Young, made him a legend. He rescued handcart companies, carried the pioneer mail across the continent, and made peace with the Indians. Ephraim was well known for his spirituality as well as his courage. Indians, even those hostile to other white men, would ask him to come bless and heal their sick. Ephraim had a large posterity, was an early settler of Park City, and was a fearless hunter and daring explorer. Many times, he walked into the very jaws of death and miraculously escaped.
