Description: 1886 1ed Mormon Portraits Joseph Smith Orson Sarah Pratt Polygamy LDS Wymetal “Many little bodies of new-born children floated down the Mississippi...” -Abigail Harris An exceptionally rare and controversial work, this first volume of the ‘Mormon Portraits’ by Austrian journalist Wilhelm von Wymetal is an intense yet fascinating read. Wymetal, using the pseudonym Dr. W. Wyl, presents a compilation of interviews with a variety of individuals affiliated with Mormonism and its leadership. Wyl’s intent was to both debunk claims by and expose scandalous practices within the early Mormon church. One such example; In response to pro-polygamous beliefs and claims, Sarah Pratt, wife of early prominent Mormon leader Orson Pratt, insisted Joseph Smith had no polygamous offspring due to the large-scale secret practice of abortion in Nauvoo, Illinois.
