Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 64: January 9, 1902 The Prophet's ancestors for several generations were native Americans. The humble town of Sharon, Windsor county, Vermont, witnessed his birth. There, on the 23rd day of December, 1805, came be into the world. He was but ten years Old when his parents - honest farm folk in lowly circumstances - moved with their family of seven sons and three daughters, Joseph being the fourth child, into the back-woods Of western New York; and it was in that then modest and retired corner of the world - a world that now rings with his fame, told by both good and evil tongues - that the curtain arose upon the great drama Of the latter days. When about mid-way between fourteen and fifteen years Of age, he received his first miraculous manifestation - that glorious and unspeakable appearing of the Father and the Son, which has been for so many years the theme of so many tongues and pens, of so much comment, favorable and unfavorable; to the Gentiles foolishness, and to some Latter-day Saints, skeptically inclined, a stumbling stone. It was a period of great religious excitement in the neighborhood of Joseph's home, the little village of Manchester. Revivals were ln progress, camp meetings were being held by ministers of various denominations, and it was to sol a question in his mind as to which of all the Christian churches was the true Church of Christ, that he went one spring morning into the woods near his father's home, to ask for wisdom, for spiritual light and guid ance, Of that God who giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not, as testified James the Apostle.
