"A very important work. This travel journal tells the story of a
great man's baptism into other worlds of culture, language,
nationhood, and appreciation for peoples outside of his purview.
The more one knows about David O. McKay, the more one recognizes
that this international experience changed the history of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints."--R. Lanier Britsch,
author of Moramona: The Mormons in Hawai'i
"A well-researched and well-written narrative that places McKay's
journey in historical context and prepares the reader to plumb its
forward-looking significance. It will take its place in the
extensive documentary history of the most important figure in
twentieth-century Mormonism."--Gregory A. Prince, coauthor of David
O. McKay and the Rise of Modern Mormonism
