<p>The epic story of the early Welsh Mormons was virtually unknown until Ron Dennis personally mastered nineteenthcentury Welsh a major challenge even for a gifted linguist. After writing landmark books on Welsh immigration and literature, he focused for a dozen years on producing facsimile translations, or reproductions of early Welsh missionary texts and volumes of official Welsh Mormon periodicals produced during the great harvest of converts from that land. Virtually alone in this field of study, Dennis continues to work to preserve the full story of how the early preaching of the restored gospel inspired both fiery debate and heroic sacrifice among the people of Wales. This volume, which continues as part of a larger series and which focuses on documents published in 1851, is another important chapter, part of Dennis s continuing efforts to translate all early Welsh Mormon literature.</p>

<p>In the first issue of Zion s Trumpet in 1855, Dan Jones declares that he was beginning the year with greater desire and confidence than ever before. Despite expressions of frustration and disappointment throughout the 1855 volume, there are many segments in which Dan Jones s unflagging optimism still appears. Jones s accounts have particular significance in providing a glimpse into a segment of his life not recorded elsewhere. For example, Jones went to Nauvoo in 1843 and made personal acquaintance with the Prophet Joseph Smith, with whom he formed a friendship that would take him to Carthage to become the recipient of Joseph s final prophecy in mortality that Jones would survive the events of the next few days and return to Wales to fulfill the mission to which he had been previously called. As with the English translation of the seven preceding volumes of Zion s Trumpet, this 1855 volume is published in a facsimile translation format to provide the reader with something of the appearance and flavor of the original Welsh publication.</p>
