From tavern keeper to prominent figure in Restoration history, William Marks is the focus of this episode of Cuppa Joe. Host Wendy Eaton sits down with Cheryl Bruno and John Dinger, co-authors of Come Up Hither to Zion: William Marks and the Mormon Concept of Gathering, to hear a little more about what they learned while researching Marks’ life. See how this early convert to the Restoration left his “mark” on the church … both the LDS church and eventually the RLDS church. Here, you’ll hear pieces of a longer lecture given for the Historic Sites Winter Book Series.
