Sub title

from the diaries of Mormon pioneer women

Summary

Harline analyses the personal writings (autobiographies and diaries) of 29 obscure Mormon pioneer women who became polygamous wives between 1847 and 1890 in Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico. Disillusioned with the polygamous system, for the most part the wives studied here did not mention or mourn the 1890 Manifesto that phased out polygamy in the Mormon Church
