About the Book: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. They present Snow's life from different times and from differing points of view, and are interesting not only for what they reveal about Eliza R. Snow, but for what they suggest yet do not reveal about a public woman who wished to maintain her privacy. A Book Review:5/5 stars - A First Lady of the SaintsThis book is a transcription of several of the dairies and journals of the Zion’s Poetess, Eliza R. Snow. She was a plural wife of Joseph Smith, and later headed up the Female Relief Society once Brigham Young and the Saints reached the Great Basin, in Utah. This transcription follow the pattern laid down by “Personal Writings of Joseph Smith,” “Papers of Joseph Smith,” and “Words of Joseph Smith.” Eliza had such a broad and eternal mind, so it is fitting that we have a book devoted to her writings.I found Eliza’s trail diary to be the best book. The trail diary covers Eliza’s 111-day pioneer journey across the plains. It records some of the experiences she had along the way, not only being a ministering angel to the sick sisters, but several profound spiritual experiences she had.This book is a must for anyone into the original documents. The only problem I have is the price. I thought that University Presses were supposed to provide cheap books! Sheesh!Eliza Roxcy Snow Smith was a Wonder Woman. She is one of the greatest women, no only in Momondom, but in American history, and even the world. He greatness is due to her unusual talents. She is an incredible poet, but an incredible woman to boot. She was, in a sense, the female prophet, much like ward-level Relief Society presidents are sometimes called the “Lady Bishops.”--Kendal Brian Hunter Copyright © 2018-2024 TDM Inc.
