"This historiographic essay focuses on the development and cultural work of two interrelated subplots narrating the role of the church and the role of the family in Latter-day Saint salvation histories at the turn of the twentieth century. I use the term historiography to signal that I am tracing how a group of influential leaders, who were not professional historians, made history for their community and how their selection of sources influenced their historical interpretations. Early Latter-day Saint narrators had relied primarily on prophetic and scriptural evidence to feature their community’s starring role in salvation history. However, the professionalizing trend in Progressive Era America inspired some Latter-day Saint narrators to consult an unprecedented number of scholarly sources and interweave evidence from these secular sources into their salvation histories, thereby promoting their community’s status internally and externally."
