"The story of [George D. Watt's] early years in the church proves him to be a man dedicated to the service of the Lord and his fellowmen. We recall that he was the first man in England to join the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; that he migrated to America in 1840 to become identified with his co-religionists in Nauvoo, Illinois, and after his expulsion with other Saints from that city, accepted without question, a call from Brigham Young to return to his homeland in order that he might learn shorthand preparatory to his assignment as Church reporter.
"For many years, Mr. Watt traveled with President Young from place to place reporting the procedures of the Church and the spoken words of its leader." [Author] -
