The Pilgrimage of Temperance Mack
Mount Pleasant, MI: John Cumming, 1967. Limited ed. Hardcover. 72 pp.
The letters of Temperance Mack and her daughter Almira Covey preserve a valuable picture of the religious enthusiasm of the early Mormons and of the many struggles which they survived. Adding to the importance of these letters is the relationship between the writers and Joseph Smith, the Prophet and founder of the Mormon Church. Temperance Mack was his aunt; and it was Joseph's own mother who converted her.
The introductory material in the first two chapters is adapted from an article by the authors entitled "The Saints Come to Michigan" in the March 1965 issue of Michigan History. Condition: Very good. Item #12295
