When Orrin Porter Rockwell died of a heart attack in 1878, his name was as well known as Brigham Young's. Cowboys sand song about him, and newspapers had frequently printed scandalous accounts about the malicious Mormon "destroying angel." But to men, Rockwell was a guardian angel, and it could be easily said he saved far more lives than he took. He was called a saint and a sinner, a lawman and a criminal, a hero and a villain.Although his death by natural causes likely disappointed the many outlaws seeking his life, it also fulfilled a prophecy given by Joseph Smith that no bullet or blade would ever harm Porter Rockwell. A friend of Joseph Smith's since childhood and later his bodyguard, Rockwell saved the life of the Prophet more than once. Porter also served as a bodyguard to Brigham Young. He became a legend as a frontiersman, a marksman, and a man of iron nerve. And though many outsiders characterized Porter Rockwell as a notorious vengeful murderer, those who knew him saw a protector, a miraculous healer, and a loyal friend.In this insightful and entertaining DVD you will come to know and better understand this colorful figure from Church history.
