University of Utah Marriott Library, Manuscripts Division

The Eliza Maria Partidge Smith Lyman Journal (1820-1885) is an unusual record of a woman's day-by-day hardship and heartbreak while crossing the plains as a young wife and mother. It discusses her two polygamous marriages: first, as one of the wives of Joseph Smith, and second as a wife of Amasa Lyman, member of the Council of Twelve Apostles. An indexed register is available.
