The Journals of George Q. Cannon reveals the inspiring, faith-affirming, and life-altering experiences Cannon had as a missionary. Those experiences helped lay the groundwork for a remarkable life that included service as a book and newspaper publisher, a territorial delegate from Utah to the United States Congress, and long-time member of the top leadership of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Apostle George Q. Cannon was the face of Mormonism to President Lincoln, his successors, and all of America for the last third of the 19th Century. Over 600 pages of the choicest verbatim personal journal excerpts are packed inside this 8.5 x 11 hard bound volume. In addition over 700 foot notes and 7 historical and doctrinal appendices are included, making this the most complete historical and doctrinal picture of one of the greatest ever of the LDS General Authorities. His genius, national notoriety, and shaping of Utah Mormonism was exceeded only by Joseph Smith and Brigham Young. Even the most crucial and controversial of subjects, almost always shied away from, are herein given a thorough hearing and analysis. You will no longer be able to claim ignorance after reading this earthshaking volume!

The life of Joseph Smith, the prophet is a biography by George Q. Cannon. It depicts the life of Joseph Smith Jr., religious leader and founder of Mormonism and the Latter Day Saint movement.
"George Q. Cannon's Journal" was mostly handwritten and covers about a fifty year span of time amounting to about 5000 pages in length. I extracted the nuggets from the complete Journal, the 50 year Journal, consisting of about 10% of the content, into a book that is over 500 pages long. It's title is "George Q. Cannon's Journal - Exceptional Excerpts." However, this 90 page volume, "Editor's Favorite Excepts," is an extract from the 500 page extraction or an extraction of an extraction, amounting to what I consider to be "pure cream" and is an excellent introduction into George's life and thinking. This second extraction is about 80 pages long with an orienting introduction, and a chronological overview of George Q. Cannon's life making it a mere 90 page volume. This shorter volume is designed for the reader who is not usually found reading long biographical books but wants to sample some of the thinking of Utah's very famous first U.S. Representative. After Brigham Young died, George Q. Cannon was the most well known and considered by some to be the "brains" of the LDS Church during the last third of the nineteenth century.
Each document has been meticulously transcribed and is placed in historical context with an introduction and annotation. Taken together, the accounts featured here allow readers to study this founding period in Latter-day Saint women's history and to situate it within broader themes in nineteenth-century American religious history.
