AUTHOR'S NOTE
After ten years of research and hours of writing and editing, York and I submit this work to the reader with confidence and satisfaction that it will stand upon its own merits. This is a book about an honest, dedicated man and his equally courageous and hardworking wives, all of whom devoted their lives to their beliefs. The story embraces a period of nearly one hundred years of history, from the boyhood of Henry Lunt to his death in Mexico, and it continues to follow the lives of his family until the death of his wives. Between the covers of this book is a true tale 111 of struggles and heartaches, but it is also one of strength and rewards. While York was researching Henry Lunt I did not share in his interest and enthusiasm when he found bits and pieces of information concerning our subject. I slowly gained an appreciation for the man as the story unfolded, and I learned to forgive his weaknesses and admire his strengths. In searching for information, it was hard to believe the phenomenal number of people that Henry was associated with and how many events he was involved in. In fact, there was so much material available concerning him that we decided the only way to do justice to such an important and prominent man was to write a book about hun. York unearthed letters that were yellowed with age, diaries, faded newspapers, stories and histories from family members and history books containing many events which took place during that era. Henry was closely associated with L.D.S. prophets Brigham Young, John Taylor and W i o r d Woodruff, as well as many other apostles and well-known Mormon leaders such as George A. Smith, Parley P. Pratt, Heber C. Kimball, Erastus Snow, Lorenzo Snow, John D. Lee and Isaac C. Haight. He, himself, was a Stake President, a Bishop for more than twenty years, and an L.D.S Patriarch. Whenever any dignitaries came to Cedar City, they stayed with the Lunts at the Lunt Hotel and Stage Stop. Many people take pride in saying their ancestors were the "first" to accomplish something. In the case of Henry Lunt, he was a member of the first company that came to Parowan, he was Captain ofthe iirst group that came fiom Parowan to settle Cedar City, and he
