That "one half of the world cannot imagine how the other half live," is no less true than trite' and the lesson the adage affords, our experience and observation daily tend to verify. Then, too, when we consider the ever-varying phases of human passion, and the discordant elements from which all novel and fanatical sects are moulded, it can scarcely seem surprising that a faithful record of actual events should exceed in singularity the wildest dream of romance; or that crimes, both strange and unnatural, should be perpetrated in a far-off country, on the outskirts of civilization, which people in another state of society would never image possible. 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 the 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." [From the author]
