"The authoress is a daughter of Brigham Young and was the first of his children to be born in the Lion House which he built in Salt Lake City to accommodate his many wives and children. Mrs. Gates tells of the lowly birth of Brigham Young and how he came to attach himself to the Mormon prophet, Joseph Smith, ultimately to become the leader of the despised and persecuted sect. Mrs. Gates relates that daring exodus of the Saints across the desert to found a new State in the wilderness of Western America." [Pblisher]
