Jesse Wentworth Crosby

by Jeffrey E. Crosby

This first posting of this historical essay has been modified from its original form. The 256 footnotes have been temporarily omitted. I hope to rectify this in the near future.

One of the primary sources for this essay was the "History and Journal" of Jesse Wentworth Crosby. An annotated version of Jesse's "History and Journal" is available here.
The first third of Jesse's "History and Journal" is also available in text format here.

Many of the early events in Jesse's life are also recounted by Benjamin Brown in his, Testimonies For The Truth. Brown was the man who baptized Jesse and later served as his missionary companion.
