Printed in London. A biography of John Y. Nelson, written by Harrington O'Reilly from facts supplied by Nelson. The narrative is in the first person, as told by Nelson, p. 86–100. Improbable account of his life in the West. Claims to have headed the Brigham Young train to Salt Lake City. Obviously false as is much of his Mormon narration. Later joins church for "convenience" and has to watch to keep from getting killed by Destroying Angels
