'Here, primarily in his own words, is the life story of President John Taylor, the last Mormon pioneer. He was the final man in authority who held fast to the original concepts of the Society of the Saints.' 'In his letters, journals, published work and sermons, John Taylor left a most vivid account of participation in a half century of dramatic events. He wrote the first account of the persecutions in Missouri' and many more major events in early church history as he saw them. (p. 34 of Vol I). It is not always clear where the commentary stops and the quotes begin, nor is the nature and location of the original Taylor materials made clear as one reads through the text.
