The Great Builders and Buildings of Zion

When the Latter-day Saints arrived in Utah it was a wilderness, and out of that wilderness they were determined to establish a Zion society - one that embodied permanence, order, beauty, and worship. And though there were no trained architects among the early Saints, there were men who gave their all to fulfill in materials what prophets saw in vision. This episode of History of the Saints is about those early architects and some of the buildings they designed. We begin with Truman 0. Angell - born June 5, 1810, in Providence, Rhode Island.
