A Historian in Zion: The Autobiography of Andrew Jenson, Assistant Church Historian (rev. enh. ed.)
Provo: RSC/Deseret Book, 2016. First printing. Hardcover/dust jacket. 716pp. The Autobiography of Andrew Jenson, first published in 1938 by the Deseret News Press in Salt Lake City, Utah, tells the personal story of a Danish Mormon convert who eventually served as Assistant Church Historian of the LDS Church for over forty years. The author mined his voluminous personal journals and assembled Church records to tell the story of the Restoration of the gospel since the 1850s when he arrived in Utah as a European immigrant. Through his synthesized research, writing, and reflections, readers come away with deeper appreciation for the men and women whose lives constitute Mormon history. Jenson told their stories together with his life experiences, creating an important window into the Mormon past. Includes an extensive biographical sketch of Jenson and a bibliography of his published works. The original text has been lightly edited to correct errors and standardize spelling in some cases. New.
