"One Year in Scandinavia: Results of the Gospel in Denmark and Sweden; Sketches and Observations on the Country and People; Remarkable Events; Late Persecutions and Present Aspect of Affairs" by Erastus Snow is a missionary account written during the mid-19th century. This book serves as a historical account of Snow's experiences as one of the twelve apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints during his mission to Scandinavia, focusingspecifically on the growth of the Mormon faith in Denmark and Sweden, and his interactions with the local cultures and governments. In this work, Snow provides a detailed narrative of his journey, including challenges faced in spreading the Gospel amidst political and religious persecution. He recounts the initial struggles and successes of missionary work, including a burgeoning interest among the local population and the baptism of various converts. Additionally, Snow discusses the socio-political landscape, reflecting on the religious climate dominated by Lutheranism and the restrictions imposed on non-conformist beliefs. Through personal letters and journal excerpts, he illuminates the fervor of faith, community dynamics, and visions shared among believers, painting a picture of spiritual resilience in the face of adversity. Ultimately, the book portrays a transformative year that not only influenced the individuals involved but also signified a broader cultural shift in Scandinavia.
