"History is so interesting that I am surprised you are not all historians. As a matter of fact, I believe all of you are, in a way. Some of you just tell stories of your youth to your grand-children--and of course all of these tales are very accurate and unembellished. Some of you are ardent genealogists, and genealogy is a specialized branch of history. Much of the scripture you study is history. Some of you read, rather than write history; and history is never complete until it is read. Historical work can be divided generally into two major undertakings: first, RESEARCH--the gathering of facts; second, WRITING--the synthesis of facts, the telling of the story." [Publisher's abstract]
