Linda Shelley Whiting resurrects the life of David W. Patten, an early apostle of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints known for his powerful missionary work, gift of healing, and fearless defense of the Saints in Missouri. Drawing on journals, letters, and decades of research, Whiting traces Patten's conversion, his eight missions, his ordination to the Quorum of the Twelve, and his death defending fellow Saints—earning him the nickname "Captain Fearnot" and a lasting place in Mormon history.

  • The dramatic true story of the first apostle martyred in the modern Church—killed defending his people at Crooked River
  • A fresh, day-by-day chronology built from Patten's own journal and rarely accessed archival sources
  • Meet "Captain Fearnot," the fearless healer and militia leader who faced down armed mobs with a calm voice
  • Includes the astonishing accounts of Patten encountering Cain and his prophecy of his own martyrdom

Perfect for an adult Latter-day Saint interested in early Church history, pioneer heritage, and the lives of the first apostles of the Restoration.
