 | | Davis Bitton and Leonard Arrington call B.H. Roberts "the most important historian of the transition period stretching from the 1880's to the 1930's." They point out that Roberts was a popular author who wrote more than anyone else in the LDS Church before or since, if we exclude Andrew Jenson's compilations. |
 | | They also explain that he made great contributions in missionary work, politics, theology, history, and apologetics and "was one of the favorite orators of his time." These important diaries not only illuminate Roberts's life and character, but also add much to our knowledge of this pivotal time in history. |
