James E. Talmage was born in England in 1862. Talmage was a prominent member of the LDS Church and served as a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles from 1911-1933. Talmage was admired by many in the church. He was a brilliant scholar in many fields including geography and the sciences. He taught science at BYU and later was president of the University of Deseret (later the University of Utah.) He also was a popular author among members of the Church. He was the author of several religious books such as Jesus the Christ, The House of the Lord, The Great Apostasy and The Articles of Faith. These books are an effort to clarify LDS doctrine and are still widely read by Latter-day Saints. For more on James E. Talmage, the article on Wikipedia seems fairly accurate.
