A Mormon Chronicle V1: The Diaries Of John D. Lee, 1848-1876 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781258013806)

A Mormon Chronicle V1: The Diaries Of John D. Lee, 1848-1876 is a book that features the personal diaries of John D. Lee, a prominent figure in the Mormon Church during the mid-19th century. Lee's diaries provide a unique insight into the daily life of a Mormon leader during a time of great upheaval and change in the American West. The book covers a period of almost thirty years, from 1848 to 1876, and includes Lee's experiences as a missionary, pioneer, and leader in the early Mormon settlements in Utah. The diaries also document Lee's involvement in the infamous Mountain Meadows Massacre, a tragic event in which a group of emigrants passing through Utah were attacked and killed by a group of Mormons and Native Americans. This book offers readers a fascinating glimpse into the life of a complex and controversial figure in Mormon history, and sheds light on the challenges faced by early Mormon pioneers as they struggled to establish their communities in the American West.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
