First Edition
First Editions. 2 volume set. 769pp. Quartos [26 cm] Light green cloth with dark green gilt stamped labels on the front boards and backstrips. Both volumes near fine in like jackets. A nicer than usually seen set of this important first hand account of the Mormon migration from the midwest to the Great Basin and the first decade plus in the west. Hosea Stout (1810-1899) was one of the most prolific, and insightful of the early Mormon diarists. At various times he was an officer in the militia in Illinois, and Winter Quarters on the Missouri River, attorney general of the State of Deseret and the Territory of Utah, United States district attorney for Utah, and president of the house of the Utah Territorial Legislature. These associations with the highest ecclesiastical and civil authorities permitted Stout to inscribe in his diary conversations and transactions which were outside the knowledge of many diarists.
