“This particular book was donated by the estate of John A. Widtsoe, fromer University of Utah President and a prominent member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who was in the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles until he died in 1952.

This book is one of five first editions of the Book of Mormon that the department holds.”
