Some soiling and a bit of rubbing to boards, hinges starting but stiil holding securely, else very good. Not in Flake. ¶ "Knowing, as I do know, the evils and horrors and abominations of the Mormon system, the degradation it imposes on females, and the consequent vices which extend through all ramifications of the society, a sense of duty to the world has induced me to prepare the following narrative for the public eye. The romantic incidents connected with my experience, many may think bordering on the marvellous. To them I would say, that this narrative of my life only proves, what has so often been proved before, that 'Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction." (Introduction, pp. v - vi)
