Who was Oliver Cowdery?
Oliver H. P. Cowdery was, with Joseph Smith, an important participant in the formative period of the Latter Day Saint movement between 1829 and 1836. He became one of the Three Witnesses of the Book of Mormon's golden plates, one of the first Latter Day Saint apostles, and the Second Elder of the church.
In 1838, he split with Smith, later becoming a Methodist. In 1848, he was rebaptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
