The young Reuben Clark struggled to gain an education in rural Granstville, Utah. Finally in 1890, at considerable inconvenience to his parents, he attended college in Salt Lake City, then Columbia University in Manhattan. Later he would become Undersecretary of State, Ambassador to Mexico, and counselor to three Mormon prophets. Quinn's revisitation of Clark's life might well be the last great biography of a twentieth-century Mormon leader.
Joshua Reuben Clark, Jr. (1871-1961) was born in Grantsville, Utah to Joshua Reuben Clark and Mary Louise Wolley.

Grant ans spent the rest of his life in church service.
