A Synopsis of Wilford Woodruffs Travels
and labors taken from his Journals by
Himself from 1834 to 1878 inclusive
Making (44) Forty Four years, of Labor
in the Ministry as a Member of the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints
This does not include any of the year
1879. Neither does it report the dedica-
tions recorded in the Begining of this
Journal. If any Historian wishes to
Record or publish this synopsis of my
Labor, He will have to Blend the two accounts
Together the forepart of this Journal as
well as this Account iand add the labor
of 1879.

It may be thought strange why a man
of as busy a life as I have lead, should spend
as much time as I have in Journalizing
I have been inspired and required of
the Lord to do it. There is no portion of
my time do I consider any better spent
time than in Journalizing, and writing History
and keeping an Account of the dealings
of God with the Latter Day Saints
