A GENTILE ACCOUNT OF LIFE IN UTAH'S DIXIE - Elizabeth Kane's St. George Journal
Publisher: Tanner Trust Fund - University of Utah Salt Lake City, UT 1995
New in New dust jacket Hardcover Brand new hardcover book! Never been read! ; Elizabeth Dennistoun Wood Kane, wife of long-time friend and benefactor of the Mormons, Thomas Leiper Kane, authored the book Twelve Mormon Homes Visited in Succession on a Journey through Utah to Arizona. It was a first-hand inside look at Mormon polygamy (from a non-Mormon), which at that time was a national issue. The book was the result of an invitation four members of the Kane family received in 1872 to accompany Brigham Young from Salt Lake City to St. George, Utah. They remained in "Utah's Dixie" for several weeks while "Tom" attempted to regain his health. Twelve Mormon Homes tells of this trip and of the Mormon families they met during their stay. The book had a limited distribution, but because of its insightful look into Mormon society, the Tanner Trust Fund and the University of Utah republished the account in 1974, a hundred years after its initial publication. (It is once again out of print.) Several years later, Norman Bowen, a friend of the Kane family, discovered that Elizabeth Kane kept a journal of her St. George experiences while writing Twelve Mormon Homes and he edited her journal as a companion to her earlier book. Although she never approved of polygamy, in both Twelve Mormon Homes and A Gentile Account of Life in Utah's Dixie, Elizabeth wrote with warmth and sympathy about the people she came to know. ; Utah, the Mormons, and the West Series No. 14 Series; 6.75" x 9.5"; 214 pages
Price: US$49.25. Quantity available: 1.
