by Cannon, Martha Hughes and Angus M. Edited by Constance L. Lieber and John Sillito
Salt Lake City: Signature Books, 1989. First Edition. 286pp. Octavo [23.5 cm] Gray cloth head and foot bands over light blue printed cloth. Title on the backstrip. Near fine. This edition was limited to 500 numbered copies. Twenty-three years her husband's junior, Martha Hughes Cannon was not the youngest wife of Angus M., a ranking church official. Nor was she a backwoods girl with few options. Mattie was a University of Michigan-trained physician, an outspoken suffragist, and the first female state senator in American history. However, rather than testify against her husband in federal court, she fled with her baby to England in 1886. The couple's correspondence is rich in detail regarding life in Utah on the underground just prior to polygamy's abolition. (Inventory #: 9976)
