Francis Asbury Hammond : Pioneer and Missionary
-
Salt Lake City, UT
-
David H. Allred & West Hammond

"This modest attempt to give a short biography on the life of
Francis Asbury Hammond was brought about as the result of a
discussion I had with David H. Allred. David is a grandson and I
am a great-grandson of Francis Asbury Hammond. We felt that the
contributions that he made should be recorded so that progenitors
of Francis who come after the fourth generation will be able to
appreciate the great contributions that he made as a pioneer and
church leader during the establishing of Zion in the tops of the
mountains. Much of the information in this small book was common
knowledge to Francis's children and grandchildren, but descendants
beyond the grandchildren may be losing an opportunity of becoming
better acquainted with their prominent ancestor and the heritage
that he left them." [From Preface]
