It will be tough to top M. R. Werner’s Brigham Young.

Sat, 16 Aug 2008 00:28:35 +0000 http://www.juvenileinstructor.org/new-guest-blogger-brett-d/#comment-11839 Thanks Justin. I get the feeling that Ron might not sleep much. He definitely has a lot to keep him going. When I interviewed for the job I asked him how his bio would differ from Arrington. He said that Arrington was a good history of Brigham Young, but doesn't always capture the personalness of Brigham. He told me that this book will focus more on the Brigham that emerges in personal letters and one on one experiences as shown in diaries, rather than the Journal of Discourses Brigham. So far it has been a great project to work on, going through diaries, newspapers, letters, ect. and seeing just how many different perspectives there were on Brigham. Thanks Justin.
