ISBN: 9781888106718.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrson Hyde was chosen as an original member of the Council of the Twelve in 1835, when the Mormon Church first organized this governing body. Orsons most well-known accomplishment was as a Mormon missionary to Jerusalem (1840-1842) to dedicate the land for the return of the Jews. In 1979 civil authorities in Jerusalem invited the development of a five-acre hillside garden, in honor of Orson Hyde.\nParticipating in the Mormon drama of crossing the plains in the U.S. several times and settling the West, Orson was a colonizing leader in western Iowa, also in what became western Nevada, and in central Utah. He was a major figure in Utahs Black Hawk Indian War (1865-1872).\nUsing facts, details and personal experiences never before in print, Myrtle Hyde, the Hyde family genealogist, has used diaries, letters, notes, documents, reports, articles, speeches and letters to present a real-life depiction of Orson Hyde, apostle, teacher, missionary, orator, scriptorian, journalist, editor, lawyer, judge, statesman, colonizer, and administrator; also the husband of eight wives, the father of thirty-three children. 16 Photos 12 Maps; 25p Index; Notes Section; Bibliography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Agreka Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44669936697397,"sku":"ByrdShop_1888106719","price":134.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_1888106719_7c747e93-76b8-4730-a0cf-3d41db08cfd1.jpg?v=1784506686","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/orson-hyde-the-olive-branch-of-israel-9781888106718","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
