Prophets and Patriarchs (1902)

These biographies were written for the “Southern Star.” When that periodical suspended publication (1900) not more than half the biographies from Brother Cowley had been published. The biographies which did appear, however, were very popular among the Elders and Saints of the Southern States Mission, and numerous calls came for them from the West. As the articles contain much valuable information, and their publication will be instrumental in doing good, I accept as a labor of love (Preface by publisher Ben E. Rich) the pleasant task of presenting, in book form, all of Apostle Cowley’s biographies to the “Star” - those which appeared, those which were ready for publication when the paper suspended, and a few recently prepared. 319 pages.
