Solomon Chamberlin (July 30, 1788 – 1862) was the first person to evangelize the printed Book of Mormon. He preached from proof sheets during a tour among Baptists and Reformed Methodists in New York and Upper Canada while the Grandin press in Palmyra, New York, prepared volumes for publication.[1] Prior to his encounter with the Book of Mormon, Chamberlin published his own visionary experience as A Sketch of the Experience of Solomon Chamberlin (1829).[2]
Chamberlin traveled to what would become Utah in 1847 as part of the Brigham Young Vanguard Company.[3]
