Pettigrew writes about his conversion to the Mormon Church in 1832, his life in Missouri during the persecutions of Mormons there, his experiences in Nauvoo, Illinois, his work as a Mormon missionary, his participation in the migration of Mormons from Nauvoo, his service in the Mormon Battalion from 1846 to 1847, his coming to Utah in 1847, and his subsequent life in Salt Lake City, Utah. Also included are copies of patriarchal blessings of family members.
