"The Autobiography of Parley Parker Pratt" by Parley P. Pratt is an autobiography published in 1874. Compiled posthumously by his son from Pratt's writings, this work chronicles the life of a Latter Day Saint apostle. Considered possibly the most important Latter Day Saint historical work of the nineteenth century after Lucy Mack Smith's writings, it remains widely read for its accessible prose and compelling account of faith, persecution, and personal redemption.
