Brigham Young offered his services for Zion’s Camp Rescue Expedition

One of the interesting facts about Brigham Young that many people do not know is that he offered his services for Zion’s Camp Rescue Expedition. In 1833, Brigham paid a visit to the Kirtland, Ohio, congregation of the Latter-day Saints. He made the choice to establish the Kirtland kingdom here. After that, Brigham relocated to Missouri where he took part in a mission to save Zion's Camp.

Joseph Smith was the captain of this rescue operation. This expedition's goal was to aid underprivileged and persecuted Latter-day Saint settlers. Despite being a challenging voyage, this one lay the foundations for his church service following Joseph Smith. Brigham Young first encountered Joseph Smith in Kirtland during this period.

The Prophet, who had returned to Kirtland with the majority of the marchers, instructed Brigham and Joseph Young to gather the missionaries from Zion's Camp for a sort of mission reunion in February 1835. Brigham Young said that they had completed everything in Zion's Camp that they had intended to do when asked what they had gained by their prolonged absence from home, work, and personal matters.
