""Fifteen Years Among The Mormons: Being The Narrative Of Mrs. Mary Ettie V. Smith"" is a memoir written by Nelson Winch Green that recounts the experiences of Mary Ettie V. Smith, a former member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) or the Mormons. The book describes Smith's journey from her childhood in Canada to her conversion to Mormonism and her eventual disillusionment with the faith. Smith's narrative provides a firsthand account of the inner workings of the LDS Church during the mid-19th century, including the practice of polygamy, which she openly condemns. The book also sheds light on the social and cultural norms of the Mormon community, as well as their interactions with non-Mormons. Throughout the book, Smith's struggles with her faith and her relationships with her husbands and fellow Mormons are explored in detail. The book also includes descriptions of her interactions with prominent Mormon leaders such as Brigham Young and John Taylor. Overall, ""Fifteen Years Among The Mormons"" is a fascinating and insightful account of one woman's experience with the LDS Church during a tumultuous period in its history. It provides a unique perspective on the inner workings of the faith and sheds light on the challenges faced by those who chose to leave it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
