180 180* (MORMON) TEASDALE, APOSTLE GEORGE, attrib. An extensive and rare archive belonging to the Apostle George Teasdale (18311907), a member of the Quorum of Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The collection consists of 23 unpublished manuscript poems, 12 of which can be attributed to the rare handwriting of George Teasdale upon comparison to extant documents in private and institutional collections.

Teasdale served a number of missions in the church throughout Europe and the United Kingdom before being called in 1891 as President of the church’s Mexican mission. The archive has been examined by leading experts, who date a number of the manuscripts from the period of his service in Mexico. The manuscripts give a range of insight into the mind, faith and human side of this elusive leader. Many are of a personal nature, including a poem, “Have Courage, My boy, to say no” (“. . .In courage alone lies your safety/When you the long journey begin/your trust in a heavenly Father/Will keep you unspotted from sin/Temptations will go on increasing/As streams from a rivulet flow/But if you’d be true to your manhood/ Have courage, my boy, to say No!”); and “Look ever on the brightest side” (“Look ever on the brightest side/Tho’ clouds your sky o’er cast/Let cheering trope with you abide/The storm will soon be past. . .”) and “A Pen Picture,” a story in rhyme about the daughter of a farmer who weds a non-religious man and loses her faith.

These works, along with a number, perhaps in the hand of his wives’ or childrens’, constitute the largest single collection of the elusive leaders’ writings that are known to be extant, outside of the archives of the LDS Church History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah, according to Brent Ashworth, who has evaluated the archive.

Further information, including a scan of all of the documents, is available upon request. Property from the Collection of Lisa K. Crosato, Los Angeles, California $8,000-12,000
