Prima edizione
Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. First edition. 379pp. Octavo [24 cm] Beige and light blue cloth boards with gilt strips. Trivial bumping to the spine ends. Significant Mormon Diaries Series No. 8. Limited publication of 350. This is number 163. Best Book Award, Mormon History Association. Foreword by Leonard Arrington. James Henry Moyle was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury under U.S. president Woodrow Wilson, Commissioner of Customs under President Theodore Roosevelt, and special assistant to treasury secretary Henry Morgenthau. He was also president of the LDS Eastern States Mission. By his own count, he had two religions, Mormonism and the Democratic Party, and he alternately praised and criticized both. As one who was intimately acquainted with every major religious and political figure in Utah and elsewhere over six decadesand as the father of a future LDS apostlehe mustered surprisingly profound and entertaining insights in his memoirs. Part of his prominence was due to his aristocratic flair. Apostle Matthew Cowley admitted that he "always had to take another look when [he] passed Brother James H. Moyle on the street." Nor was this large-framed, gray-haired statesman one to mince words. It is the raw edge to his comments that makes his autobiography so memorable. This former political kingpin's life is also recounted in LDS church president Gordon B. Hinckley's James Henry Moyle: The Story of a Distinguished American and Honored Churchman, who, by his own account, refers to Moyle as a colorful, highly opinionated, uncensored voice, who has a unique value.
