An Intimate Chronicle ; the Journals of William Clayton
William Clayton (1814-1879) was born in Charnock Moss, England to Thomas Clayton and Ann Critchley. In 1836 he married Ruth Moon and in 1837 he was baptized into the LDS Church in the River Ribble in Preston, England.

This gap in the story of free-world cooperation is filled by Gregory Fossedal's vivid biography.
