Notes

In 1879, the ownership of the Doctrine and Covenants, a foundational text in the Latter-day Saint movement, was held by C.C. Richards. This period marked a time of growth and consolidation for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, as it solidified its doctrinal framework and organizational structure. The Doctrine and Covenants, a compilation of revelations received by prophets, including Joseph Smith, played a central role in guiding the faith and practices of believers. Under Richards' ownership, this sacred text likely continued to serve as a source of spiritual guidance and inspiration for members of the Latter-day Saint community.
