Warren Foote was an early convert to Mormonism and became an influential figure in the various communities where he lived. He was captain of a Pioneer wagon train, settler of the communities of Union, Scipio, and Glendale in Utah, and St. Joseph and St. Thomas in the Muddy Mission in Nevada. He was a polygamist, though there was considerable difficulty in his marriage and living arrangements, and eventually his second wife left him. He farmed and pioneered and was a trained miller and woodworker. He was also an ardent supporter and defender of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. This book includes the first volume of Warren Foote's personal journals and memoir, spanning from his birth in 1817 to the end of 1879. Several additional sources and documents are included as well. This version features thousands of changes and improvements from previous editions of the Warren Foote Journals, including increased readability, improved formatting, standardized spelling and punctuation, and other efforts to provide a more enjoyable read without affecting historical accuracy. This book will be a great resource to students and scholars of Utah, Mormon, Western, or Pioneering history. It will also be of interest to the many thousands of descendants of Warren Foote.
