This article discusses the influence of the book 'The Autobiography of Parley Parker Pratt" in constructing Mormon identity and collective memory, specifically on its depictions of Mormon persecutions and martyrdom. Additionally, the author discusses the persecution faced by the Saints in Missouri and Illinois, as well as the murder of the Prophet Joseph Smith. Pratt's writings within the framework of American republicanism and liberty are examined alongside the larger history of Christian persecutions.
