About the author
Born in England in 1857, Brigham Henry Roberts later emigrated to the United States and became a prominent leader in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served as a missionary and as a member of the First Council of the Seventy, and he built a reputation as an energetic preacher, debater, and writer.
Roberts is especially remembered for his historical and theological work. He wrote and compiled major books about the history of the church, including multivolume histories that influenced generations of readers, and he was known for taking both scholarship and faith seriously.
His public life reached beyond church service. After being elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Utah in 1898, he was refused his seat by Congress, a controversy that brought him wide attention. He died in 1933, leaving behind a large body of writing and a lasting place in the study of Latter-day Saint history.
