Résumé du livre
This is the travel writings of Mormon Historian Andrew Jenson, whose global tour was an unprecedented adventure in Latter-day Saint history. Through his own hard work and the seeming hand of Providence, historian Andrew Jenson found his niche as a laborer in the cause of the Restoration. He pursued the goal of collecting and writing comprehensive, accurate, and useful histories of the Church with a rare passion. Acquiring, documenting, and publishing Church history was not purely a scholarly or historical pursuit for him. The untiriing Danish-American believed it was a spiritual labor with eternal ramifications. He devoted his adult life to enlarging the isntitutional memory of the Church and protecting what he considered to be the sacred records of the final dispensation.
