Zion's Trumpet kept Latter-day Saints all over Wales abreast of the latest direction and informaiton from their leaders in Merthyr Tydfil. They could read translated minutes of conferences held in Salt Lake City; instructions about emigrating; letters from those who had already left Wales for America; answers to their doctrinal quesitons; inspirational messages from the editor, John S. Davis; poetry composed especially for the periodical; and even bits of humor and wisdom sprinkled throughout. Today's reader of the "facsimile translation" of this volume can gain insights into the Mormon movement in mid-ninetheen-century Wales and a clearer understanding of the challenges the converts faced in living their new religion.
