A 3-D Tour of Latter-Day Saint History

In 1904 Brigham H. Roberts published The Latter-day

Saints' Tour from Palmyra, New York, to Salt Lake

City: Through the Stereoscope, hoping to highlight

the accomplishments of his people in building up a

new Zion despite a history of hardship. Gathering

a series of thirty-eight stereoscopic images, Roberts

guided the reader through three-dimensional photos

of the faith's most notable prophet-leaders and

historic church sites. From Joseph Smith's childhood

home through Nauvoo and eventually to Salt Lake

City, Roberts invited the reader to celebrate the LDS

role in American history.

In this new edition, editors Steven and Ben

Richardson compile Roberts's original text and

images and present them in stereoscopic 3-D with

accompanying red/cyan glasses, allowing a new generation

of readers to experience Roberts's tour. Follow

the Latter-day Saints from Palmyra to Salt Lake,

each stop accompanied by a 3-D image and Roberts's

accessible and timeless storytelling expertise. The

perfect addition to the library of every LDS or Utah

historian, A 3-D Tour of Latter-day Saint History

brings Roberts's love of history back to life.

Roberts was a prominent LDS teacher, editor,

historian, and politician. He served the church in a

number of ways, but is most often remembered for

his six-volume Comprehensive History of the Church of

Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The original stereoscopic

book was published in 1904.
