On this day in LDS Church History in 1852, in Washington D.C., Elder Orson Pratt publishes the first issue of the church newspaper, "The Seer." While at first this publication was sanctioned by the leaders of the church, by 1865 Orson published some material that was not sanctioned by a majority of the first Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve.
