After detailing the LDS gold mission, Campbell judges it had only indirect success. 'The men involved had spent at least a year away from their homes with considerable risk of their lives and health and had failed to find the gold they were seeking. Several members had lost their lives in the effort. The most successful group had secured less than $20,000 in gold and their expenses had been such as to make their profits almost negligible.' Campbell concludes that the mission, however, helped open proselyting in Hawaii and confirmed church leaders' judgment against mining precious metals.
