A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons is a memoir written by Elizabeth Whitney Williams, detailing her experiences growing up in a seafaring family and later converting to the Mormon faith. Williams shares stories of her childhood aboard her father's ship, including the dangers and adventures of life at sea. She then goes on to describe her introduction to the Mormon Church and her eventual move to Utah, where she faced many challenges as a new convert. Williams offers a unique perspective on both seafaring life and the early days of the Mormon Church, making this book a fascinating read for anyone interested in these topics.1905. A memoir by Whitney, Michigan�������s first female lighthouse keeper, of her personal experiences living among the Mormons...thirty-one years of Beaver Island life with as much knowledge of Mormon life as any one outside of their teachings could possibly have. In this little history I have only touched lightly upon the reality, writing what my memory contained that might be interesting, telling the stories as near as possible as they were told to me by the people themselves that had lived and suffered by the Mormon doctrine; some things my parents told me when I was too young to remember, during the first part of my residence on Beaver Island.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
