Ann Eliza Young is also known as "Wife No. 19," or the 19th wife of Brigham Young. Her parents were early adopters of Mormon polygamous practices. Her father took a second wife in 1845, when Ann Eliza was still a baby. The family followed the pioneer trail, relocating from Nauvoo to the Utah territory in 1846. After a short, failed marriage, 24-year-old Ann Eliza married 67-year-old Brigham Young. Historians dispute whether she was the 19th woman to wed Young, with many considering Ann Eliza to be his 27th bride. She was unhappy in the marriage, filing for divorce after only four years. The divorce proceedings garnered international interest, and led to her excommunication from the church. Subsequently, Ann Eliza began a national tour, speaking out against polygamy, Mormonism and Brigham Young. She also published two popular autobiographies, including this title. Her story directly contributed to increasing national interest in wiping out the practice of polygamy, which ultimately led to the 1890 Manifesto outlawing the practice within the church. Flake 10047.
