Description

A biography of Mormon convert George D. Watt, whose contributions to Mormon literature include the creation of the Deseret Alphabet and his efficient note taking that allowed him to take down the sermons of Young and other church leaders and publish them in the "Journal of Discourses," an indispensible historical record. Despite his accomplishments, because of his potential, George Watt's story is at heart a tragedy. His breach with Brigham Young resulted in social isolation, poverty, and rejection by friends and associates.
