  History - In 1841, Mary's parents joined the Mormon Church, and she moved with them to Nauvoo. She recalled some of the early persecution there, and the death of Joseph Smith. She remembered their making preparations to leave the city, selling their belongings for very little. And she remembers the start of their journey: "I think I shall never forget that long lonely day; waiting on that vast undulating prarie that stretched as far as the eye could reach, covered with grass and flowers. It must have been a lovely scene that bright spring morning, but I hardly think it was properly appreciated by the little band who were so bravely leaving home, friends, country and kindred to take their toilsome march across the rocky mountains. The oxen were detached from the waggons and feeding lazily among the green grass, knowing nothing of the future that lay before them...My childish heart knew as little as they of the hardship that lay before us." Mary Jane was 10 when they arrived in the barren Salt Lake Valley in the fall of 1847. The first real home for the family was a crude cabin Joseph Mount built in the canyon, where he was also building a sawmill. They eked out a sparse living, fighting off crickets and harsh weather, for two years. When news of the gold discovery in California reached Salt Lake, Joseph determined to seek his fortune. He left his family in the care of his partner, agreeing to send the partner half of what he made in the gold fields. He did do reasonably well there, but this move cost his family much suffering both while he was gone and from the later consequences of the move. "We had a sack of flour which we had kept very carefully and would not use it as long as we could get it other ways; for my mother had learned to look out for emergencies. She had smelled something unusual, and, as she was not accustomed to foul odors about the house, set to work to learn the cause. Finaly she traced it to the flour sack where she found a dead mouse. The smell had impregnated the flour and rendered it unfit for use. "To those who have plenty, and never knew the wretchedness of hunger and privation, this may seem a little thing; but to us it meant bread which is the staff of life and we scarcely knew how to replace it." In 1851 Joseph sent for his family to come to California, but they did not feel they should leave the valley. When Joseph heard this he became very angry, and thus began a little drama that changed the lives of the Mount family. Joseph demanded a divorce. Elizabeth, feeling abandoned and at a loss to know how to care for her family, obtained a divorce and soon after became the second wife of a Stillman Pond. By the time Joseph calmed down and came to make peace with the family, it was too late. Joseph also married again, and for a time Mary Jane lived with him, but felt a great sense of aloneness, not quite fitting in with either family. Eventually her father moved back to California, a bitter man. Her mother didn't find happiness, either, leaving Stillman Pond a few years later, and marrying a third time, to Timothy Foote. In 1856 Mary Jane married Myron Tanner, a young Mormon from San Bernardino whom she met on one of his trips to Salt Lake City. They were going back to California, but on the counsel of Brigham Young, decided to stay in Utah. They lived in Payson for a time, then moved to Provo, where they spent the rest of their lives. Myron and Mary Jane were the parents of nine children, three of whom died in infancy. Ten years after he married Mary Jane, Myron took a second wife, Ann Crosby. "Of this I will say but little. It is a heart history which pen and ink can never trace. It was a great trial, but I believed it to be a true principle, and summoned all my fortitude to bear it bravely." A cordial relationship existed between the two families for a time, but it eventually deteriorated into discord and bitterness because, said Mary Jane, of the interference of Ann's family. In later letters, however, she always defended the practice. And the insight she offers into the realities of polygamy is fascinating. Throughout her life, Mary Jane suffered from poor health. In 1842, after the birth of one of her children she became very sick from "childbed fever." It was then, and during the lengthy convalescence which followed, that she decided to become a writer. "God had given me a taste and a tallent for writing...and I determined then that if God gave me health I would not prize His gift so lightly, but would do all in my power to cultivate my 'tallent' and not 'lay it away in a napkin.'...As soon as my strength and time permitted I gathered and arranged my little poems and coppied them in a book." Her "Fugitive Poems" volume was published in 1880. She also contributed numerous pieces to Church publications and women's journals of the time. She made no great mark in the literary world, but did become known as the "Utah County Poetess." Her devotion to the Church never wavered. Myron served as bishop of the Provo Third Ward for a great many years; at the time she completed her autobiography, Mary Jane had served as president of the Relief Society for 15 years. She died on Jan. 8, 1890, "ending a useful and honorable career," as the newspaper account read. "She left a large family and a wide circle of friends to mourn her departure." And in her writings, particularly the fragments so choicely and skillfully presented in this book, she left a precious legacy, a fascinating view of Mormon life as it was a hundred years ago, seen through the eyes of a devout and caring woman.
