Story of Chester Lawrence: Being the Completed Account of One who Played an Important Part in "Piney Ridge Cottage"DigiCat, 2022 M09 15 - 136 pages Story of Chester Lawrence is the story of a lonesome man on a long journey by ship to find his destiny. Excerpt: "It was nothing, sir. I, too, was just bidding farewell to the Land of Joseph, and I fear my sight was also rather dim." Chester paused and looked at the man who had heard and repeated his remark. No one but a Latter-day Saint would call America the Land of Joseph. He was a pleasant-looking man, with hair and beard tinged with gray, clear blue eyes, a firm mouth, about which at that moment there played a faint smile. He wished to make further acquaintance with Chester, for he asked: "How far west were you looking just now?" |
