"An African American woman named Jane Elizabeth Manning James was among the early pioneer residents of Utah, a state settled primarily by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS). The Saints were seeking an isolated refuge from the persecution and violence experienced at earlier settlements in New York, Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois. Jane Elizabeth's life embodies the intersection of religion, race, and gender in the nineteenth century, as well as its implications for the western frontier region." [From author's introduction]
