"...I dedicate this Book to you, as I consecrate my life to your cause.
As long as God gives me life I shall pray and plead for your deliverence from the worse than Egyptian bondage in which you are held. Despised, maligned, and wronged; kept in gross ignorance of the great world, its pure creeds, its high aims, its generous motives, you have been made to believe that the noblest nation of the earth was truly represented by the horde of miscreants who drove you from State to State, in early years, murdering your sons and assassinating your leaders, .But He will not long permit you to be so wickedly deceived; nor will the People permit you to be so cruelly enslaved...Hope and pray! Come out of the house of bondage! Kind hearts beat for you ! Open hands will welcome you!...Courage! The night of oppression is nearly ended, and the sun of liberty is rising in the heavens for you.
(From author's Dedication "To The Mormon Wives of Utah"
