Succession in the Presidency
Ronald Walker details in the article "Grant's Watershed: Succession in the Presidency, 1887-1889" events during the succession of Elder Wilford Woodruff to the Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This period remains an important but largely untold story—a time when differing views divided the Church’s General Authorities and when the policies and procedures for installing a new president of the Church were tested and confirmed.
