Par autoru
George Quayle Cannon (1827–1901) was a 19th-century apostle and member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Born in Liverpool, England, Cannon's family emigrated to the United States in 1842 where they joined the gathering of the saints in Nauvoo, Illinois. With a life devoted to his faith and the administration of the LDS Church, he served several missions, including a notable mission to the Hawaiian Islands, an experience which he later recounted in his book, 'My First Mission'. This work is valuable for its detailed record of missionary work and provides insights into the early days of the LDS Church from an English convert's perspective. Apart from his role as a missionary, Cannon held numerous other positions within the church, including serving as the editor of the 'Deseret News' and the 'Juvenile Instructor', and being a member of the church's First Presidency. A prolific writer, he was instrumental in fostering the spread of LDS literature and promoting education among the Latter-day Saints. His literary style, marked by its clarity and unwavering conviction, reflects his dedication to both his religious beliefs and to the dissemination of LDS doctrine and history. Cannon's contributions to the literary and theological landscape of the LDS Church were significant, and his works continue to be studied and respected within the faith.
