Scope and Contents

From the Collection: The Reed Smoot papers (1909-1986) consist mainly of copies of Smoot's diaries from microfilm. These diaries range from 1909-1928 and contain Smoot's thoughts and opinions on his faith, national politics, and religious and political leaders. The microfilm is from the University of Utah Press which was working with editor Merlo Pussey to publish Smoot's diaries. Complications resulted and the diaries remained unpublished while the originals were moved to Brigham Young University. The University of Utah Press then turned over the microfilm to the Marriott Library. In addition to the photocopies of the diaries, there is a biography on Reed Smoot by Milton Merrill and a thesis by Melvin Thayne. Lastly are some letters and articles that concern Reed Smoot and his faith and politics.
