Diaries are LDS history cache

Nuttal's diary is very important for understanding the atmosphere and discussions that led to the Manifesto issued by Woodruff, which banished the practice of polygamy in 1890.

The diaries demonstrate that Nuttal was a devout Mormon who took all his offices and callings in the church as a sacred trust. He prayed frequently and considered his life to be primarily a spiritual undertaking.

These diaries are fascinating to anyone with any familiarity to LDS history and a desire to know more.

Jedediah Rogers and Signature Press both deserve kudos for shepherding such a dynamic work to publication.
