About this Item

8vo, original green cloth, lettered in gilt, illustrated with drawings of H.L. Stephens, 221. [1] pp. Slightly darkened spine, leaning a bit, ends and corners somewhat worn, rubbing, bookplate, gift inscription on endpaper dated 1873; otherwise very good. An early tell all book, which describes the fall out the author had with the Mormon Church, and the living conditions she had to deal with. She also took the opportunity to criticize the leadership of Bingham Young. Perhaps more importantly, she describes the life of Mormon wives a pretty miserable group. They will sometimes be one of a dozen or more wives, and that Brigham Young had 19 wives. While she acknowledges that some of the Mormon faith have good intensions, women find it an often lonely and heart breaking experience. Sabin 91222. Seller Inventory # 100876
