This article analyzes the efforts of Wilhelm G. Danielsen, a convert from Denmark, to physically "redeem Zion" by relocating his successful plow manufacturing company from Logan, UT to Independence in 1907. As his family had "gathered" after conversion in Denmark, so Wilhelm hoped to continue the gospel thrust by contributing to the redepmtion of Zion. His plan was to provide a strong manufacturing institution in the heart of Zion that could provide jobs for Mormons. This effort began with high hopes, financial support, and strong encouragement from highly placed LDS officials and businessmen. However, it fizzled into a distressing series of management difficulties, financial woes, and contentious lawsuits. Danielsen, disillusioned, abandoned Mormonism and joined the RLDS Church.
