Product DescriptionAndrew Jenson undertook a lifelong quest to render the LDS historical record complete and comprehensive. As Assistant Church Historian of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints, Jenson tirelessly carried out his office's archival mission and advocated for fixed recordkeeping to become a duty for Latterday Saints. Reid L. Neilson and Scott D. Marianno offer a new indepth study of Jenson's long life and career. Their account follows Jenson from his arrival as a Danish immigrant to 1860s Utah through trips around the world to secure documents from farflung missions, and on to his public life as a newspaper columnist and interpreter of LDS history. Throughout, Jenson emerges as a figure dedicated to the belief that recorded history united past and present Latterday Saints in heaven and on earthand for all eternity.Engaging and informed, Restless Pilgrim is a groundbreaking study of an important figure in Latterday Saint intellectual life during a transformative era in Church history.Review'Restless Pilgrim features clear prose, meticulous research, and a high standard for accuracy and context. The authors narrate Jenson's globetrotting quest for documents and his efforts to systematize the preservation of local records. This penchant for recordkeeping has been an incalculable gift, not just to church members but to historians of American religion more generally.'John G. Turner, author of The Mormon Jesus: A Biography and Brigham Young: Pioneer ProphetAbout the AuthorReid L. Neilson has served as the Assistant Church Historian and Recorder of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints. He is an awardwinning author and editor of dozens of books on the Latterday Saints, and coeditor of Pacific Apostle: The 192021 Diary of David O. McKay in the Latterday Saint Island Missions. Scott D. Marianno is an historian in the Church History Department of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints and coeditor of A Voice in the Wilderness: The 18881930 General Conference Sermons of Mormon Historian Andrew Jenson.
