Merci Beaucoup, its_chet!
I was planning a little trip to Deseret, so I'll be looking for the book that Joseph Smith's mother wrote. You know, any one with the name Lucy Mack Smith sounds like a treasure to me. I like her without even knowing her. Hearing about his life from her perspective will be interesting. The book "I Witnessed the Cartage Massacre" sounds like a very intense, but good read, too. As sad as it sounds, I'd still like t read it. I'd also like to read about Emma Hale Smith, too, now that's a lady with some spirit!
You have been very kind with your sharing, its_chet. Thank you!!
I'll be looking for the others you mentioned, too.
