Life Sketches Orson Spencer/Hist. of Primary (1898)

Set in Farmington, Utah, the author relates personal anecdotes of poverty, an active church-life, insights into the lives of several General Authorities, and telling glimpses into her own life and character. Woven into her everyday situations are the beginnings of the Primary Organization and her continuing dialog with Eliza R. Snow (the General Relief Society President) about its implementation. Viewed from its inception, Sister Rogers documents the rationale, the philosophy, and the concerns for the children of the LDS Church. 333 pages
