Synopsis: Adventures of a Church Historian details how Leonard J. Arrington opened up archival resources and presided, for a time, over an unprecedented era of enlightenment as he and those working under his aegis produced path-breaking works of Mormon scholarship. Arrington was the first professional historian and the first noncentral authority to serve as church historian of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a position he held from 1972 to 1982.

Review: "A follower like me, trying to do a job under conflicting instructions of presures, was like a mouse crossing the floor where elephants are dancing".-- From the book
