Publisher of the original 1830 Book of Mormon. Grandin believed small-town Palmyra to be the next big city of the east. Establishing a store in the first floor, a bindry in the second floor, and a print shop in the third floor, very rare for this time in history to be so convient. And, thanks to the recently constructed Erie Canal, a state of the art printer was brought in, improving efficiany of upto 800%. It is among these plus many other reasons that Latter-day Saints believe Grandin was called of God to perform this work. Palmyra never grew to Grandin's expectation and he soon went out of business. He died of pnumonia at the age of thirty-nine, shortly after the martyrdom of the Prophet Joseph Smith.
