George Q. Cannon was a prominent leader in the LDS Church, known for his unwavering faith, dedication, and contributions to the Church’s growth and development. Born in Liverpool, England, in 1827, Cannon emigrated to the United States with his family and became a key figure in the Church’s leadership.

Key Contributions:

  • Publishing and Media: Cannon was instrumental in the Church’s publishing efforts. He founded the "Deseret News," the official newspaper of the Church, and was a driving force behind the publication of numerous Church-related books and periodicals.
  • Political Influence: He served as a delegate to the U.S. Congress, representing the Utah Territory. His political efforts were crucial in advocating for the rights and interests of the LDS community during a time of significant persecution and legal challenges.
  • Missionary Work: Cannon was a dedicated missionary, serving missions in Hawaii and other regions. His translation of the Book of Mormon into Hawaiian was a monumental achievement that helped spread the Church’s message to a broader audience.
  • Church Leadership: As a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and later as a counselor in the First Presidency, Cannon’s leadership helped guide the Church through periods of both growth and adversity.

  1. It is good to see you making these Shorts. Many have a hard time believing that the Andes mountains could have rose and the east Sea become the Amazon basin at the time of the Crucifixion. That is probably the main stumbling block that keeps people from seeing how many things in the Andes model do match verses in the text. But in honesty the Meso model with an East-West (instead of North-South) "narrow" neck 140 or so miles across is just as serious or more of an issue. And the Heartland model is hopelessly flawed as Del explained.
