Sammelband. 42,43,25,70,115,[94]pp. Quarto [28 cm] Red buckram with the titles gilt stamped on the front board and backstrip. Very good. Gouge to front board. A collection of uncommon Mormon memoirs with a fundamentalist flavor, compiled and printed by Ogden Kraut's Pioneer Press. The final typescript 'Suggestions for Prayer as…Given by President Joseph W. Musser in the Junior School of the Prophet in 1939' is a true rarity. Sarah Studevant Leavitt (1798-1878) and her family were converted to Mormonism in 1835 and joined the Saints in Kirtland, Nauvoo, and then to Utah. This short work deals mostly with the migration of her family. Of interest are her accounts of seeing Egyptian mummies and the Book of Abraham while in Kirtland, Ohio; as well as seeing the martyred bodies of Joseph and Hyrum Smith. This history was copied by Juanita Leavitt Pulsipher Brooks in 1919. Mary Elizabeth Rollins Lightner (1818 - 1913) was a member of the LDS Church and a Mormon pioneer, she was one of the plural wives of Joseph Smith and then Brigham Young. Lightner is credited with rescuing the printed gathering for the Book of Commandments from anti-Mormon mobs. In this work she recounts her experiences with the Church in Kirtland, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, and Utah, and her association with Joseph Smith. Wandle Mace (1809-1890) was converted to Mormonism by Parley P. Pratt and left for Far West in 1838, but hearing of persecutions against Mormons there he instead rented a house in Quincey, Illinois, where he housed fleeing Mormons including Joseph Young and John Taylor. He moved several more times in the 1830s before settling in Nauvoo. He describes seer stones and magic being used by British converts Priddy Meeks (1795-1886) Converted to the LDS Church in 1840 in Brown County, Illinois, where he served as Bishop. he joined the Mormon at Nauvoo in 1842. He arrived in the Salt Lake Valley in the Autumn of 1847 , and assisted with the settlement of Salt Lake City, before embarking on the colonization of Southern Utah. He assisted with the first settlements in Parowan (1851), Leeds-Harrisburg (1862), Glendale (1864), Mt. Carmel (1864), before joining the United Order and moving to Orderville in 1879. Joseph White Musser (1872-1954) was a central figure in post manifesto LDS polygamous groups, and an early follower of Lorin Woolley and his claim to the Keys of the Priesthood. Musser was the leader at Short Creek during the raids. After his death his followers split, forming the U.E.P. (FLDS - Short Creek) and the A.U.B. (Allred group - Salt Lake County). Ogden Wedlund Kraut (1927-2002) was a polygamist, author and publisher who became best known for his writings about Mormon fundamentalist topics. Kraut was an independent fundamentalist who never joined any fundamentalist group.
