We take a moment in our account to talk about a great friend to the saints and a remarkable man - Alexander Doniphan. While others in positions of influence were seeking to harm the saints Doniphan, a lawyer, stood up for them and stood up for justice, showing an integrity seemingly lacking in others at the time. At a moment when Joseph Smith and others were about to be killed, he defied his superior officer and refused to carry out the order and threatened that officer with legal action if he carried it out, effectively saving their lives.
What was his background? What was he well known for? What else did he do in his career? What was his family life like? Where did he stand during the Civil War? What did he think of Lincoln? What tragedies did he face? Who named a son after him? What is named after him today?
