Orson Pratt (1811-1881) was baptized into the fledgling LDS Church, by his brother Parley P. Pratt in 1830, its founding year. He was an original member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles in the LDS Church and held various positions throughout his life. In 1852, he served as a member of the territorial legislative Council from Salt Lake County. Pratt is perhaps best known for his spirited defenses of Mormon doctrine and theology which he produced in pamphlet form primarily for missionary purposes.
