Well, I have finally finished the book. What an amazing man Jedediah Morgan Grant was! I am not a member of the church, so reading the history of this man and his part in the Mormon religion has been very interesting for me. I have learned so much about Utah's history, as well as history of the church.
Jedediah was such a passionate man! I admire his zeal for wanting the Saints to live the appropriate life that one should in order to receive the blessings in the afterlife. However, I can't help but wonder if Jeddy suffered somewhat from OCD! he he he I laughed out loud everytime he mentioned that people should be clean themselves, have clean houses and yards, and live clean lives. It makes me wonder what these people must have looked like! :)
It was cool for me to read about Jeddy coming to Morgan with Thomas Jefferson Thurston and George W. Thurston. Thomas Jefferson Thurston is my husband's great, great, great grandfather. Pretty cool to see it mentioned in Session's book!!!
I have come to appreciate reading biographies much more since reading this book. I can't wait to learn more about Utah's history!
