[Salt Lake City]: Distributed by P.A. Westman, 1935. First Edition. [8pp] Octavo [21 cm] Printed stapled wrappers. Very good. Signed by the publisher with his return address at the foot of the last page. Short biographical work on John Tanner Clark (1865-1932) who was an inventor and early proto-fundamentailst, who associated with Woolley, Musser, Broadbent and others, Clark claimed to be the 'One Mighty and Strong.' It is unusual that Clark himself was not a polygamist. Despite his evident early dedication to Church teachings, Clark was excommunicated in May 1905 at age forty, but not for involvement with plural marriage. His Church discipline was, instead, for his claims that he was the "one mighty and strong" named in Doctrine and Covenants 85:7. We locate four institutional copies. Rare.
