Historical Note

George Shepherd Tanner (1897-1992) was well-known for his activities within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' ( LDS Church ) seminary and institute programs, as well as for his research efforts regarding the history of Mormon settlements in Arizona. Tanner's ancestors played a major role in the settling of Arizona. Aside from research, most of Tanner's adult life was dedicated to teaching religion courses for the LDS Church. He taught throughout Utah and Idaho and spent two years in Hawaii as instructor of the Church College. Tanner earned his B.S. degree from the University of Utah in 1923 and his M.S. from the University of Chicago in 1931. He has written numerous articles and histories, including those of his forebearers, Henry Martin Tanner and John Tanner.
