In addition to being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Roberta Flake Clayton was part of the foreign mining community in Chihuahua, Mexico, from 1910 to 1916. As such, her journal, albeit surviving only in a rewritten form, sheds a different light on the experiences of Mormons during the Mexican Revolution. She was not part of the Mormon exodus from the colonies in 1912 but did flee with her family in 1914. Her story lends credence to the idea that the Mormon colonists in Mexico could simply be considered one of the many foreign communities who suffered loss of life and property during the Revolution.
