"Anson Call was with Joseph Smith when he prophesied that the Mormon people would be driven from their homes in Nauvoo, Illinois to the Rocky Mountains, '...and some of you will live to go and assist the Saints become a mighty people in the midst of the Rocky Mountains.' Call recorded in his journal that the prophet pointed to him and said, 'There is Anson, he shall go and shall assist in building cities from one end of the country to the other...' Call spent the rest of his life fullfilling Joseph Smith's prediction of him. 'Such men as Anson Call make history. They are peculiarly adapted to the colonization of new countries, to the laying of the foundation of empires in a wilderness.' [Publisher's abstract]
