According to the website of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, William A. Morton was a prolific author of missionary tracts for the Church throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He was born in Ireland in 1866. He converted to the Church while still in Ireland and came to the United States in 1891 to serve in the Church. Morton returned to England twice to serve as a missionary at the Church's British Mission and served both times as the associate editor of the Millennial Star, the Church's main publication in Europe. Morton died in 1930, and as part of his legacy, he left dozens of publications that have been used in different areas of the world to share the Mormon faith.
