Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First edition. 316pp. Octavo [23.5 cm] Dark red cloth over boards, with a gilt stamped title on the backstrip. In the dust jacket, with light shelfwear. Winner of the Mormon History Association, 1995, Best Book Award, and The Association for Mormon Letters,1995, L…ife Writing Award. Known variously as "Zion's poetess," "priestess," and "prophetess," Eliza Roxcy Snow is the first lady of Mormon letters. Secretly married to Mormon Church founder Joseph Smith in 1842, and wed after Smith's death to his successor Brigham Young, she was also the sister of Lorenzo Snow, fifth president of the church. Her list of credentials is long: president of the Relief Society from the time of its reorganization in Utah, author by her own count of nine published volumes, president of the Deseret Hospital Association, organizer of the Young Ladies' Mutual Improvement Association, the children's Primary Association, and the Woman's Commission Store, Snow lived a long life of real accomplishment. This volume brings together for the first time her life writings.
