The modern title of the record book
was attached to the document by association after the Saints had settled
in Utah. It was from the title page of the book that the name "Far West
Record" was derived.
This title was used in Church inventory of historical documents in 1855. Manuscript Revelation Books designates the volume "Revelation Book 2." |
