|Orson Hyde
|Orson Hyde of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles published this account of Smith’s early visions in Frankfurt, Germany, in 1842. Relying heavily on the 1840 Pratt account, Hyde composed the text in English and translated it into German for publication. He called it '<nowiki/>''Ein Ruf aus der Wüste'<nowiki/>''  meaning ''<nowiki/>'''A Cry out of the Wilderness'.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Orson Hyde Pamphlet (1842) |url=https://history.churchofjesuschrist.org/content/library/orson-hyde-pamphlet-1842?lang=eng |access-date=2024-10-23 |website=The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints}}</ref>
