Albert Thurber was a young New Englander who put money into the Congress and California Joint-Stock Mining Company in order to travel to the gold fields of California in 1849. Hartley profiles Thurber's journey, and records that after learning some of the beliefs of the Mormons in Salt Lake City, Thurber decided to remain in Utah. He joined the Church, served several missions, and became a prominent civic and Church leader in Spanish Fork and Richmond.
