Seldom in Church History does a figure emerge with such compelling strength, diversity of character, and raw bravery as Eph Hanks. Fascinated by the man, Ivan J. Barrett researched journals, and read old letters and accounts written about him. Brother Barrett began to dream of a more complete telling of Eph's incredible story. This book is the fulfillment of that dream.
Eph Hanks was converted to the LDS Church under conditions of extreme sacrifice. His unfailing devotion to the leaders of the Church, particularly Brigham Young, made him a legend. He rescued handcart companies, carried the pioneer mail across the continent and made peace with the Indians. Eph was well-known for his spirituality as well as his courage. Indians, even those hostile to other white men, would ask him to come bless and heal their sick. Eph fathered three families, founded Park City, and was a fearless hunter and daring explorer. Many times he walked into the very jaws of death and miraculously escaped.
Ivan J. Barrett has faithfully recorded the known facts of the life of this astounding man. Then, like an artist working on fine canvas, he added needed details to create a finished panorama of adventure and romance—a fictionalized life story that will captivate and intrigue you. Share this exciting story with your family and friends. Eph Hanks, Fearless Mormon Scout will appeal to anyone—age nine to ninety.
Now, the only snag to snagging a guy is that Mr. Freaked out has discovered Samantha's plot for the manhunt and is determined to sabotage all her efforts.
