Pioneer Christmas - Excerpts From Personal Journals (LDS,Mormon) [Hardcover] Sus

From the dustjacket. "Christmas for the early pioneers was much different than Christmas for us is today. Traditions were similar, but gifts were scarce and commercialism was nearly absent. The true spirit of the holiday was found in abundance in their small homes. Take a peek into the lives of these faithful saints as you read their personal accounts of what celebrating the birth of Christ was like for them. From the first accounts of the saints in the Salt Lake Valley in 1847 to the holiday reminiscences of prophets and apostles, these fascinating glimpses into our own peculiar Christmas heritage are both poignant and delightful. Beautiful watercolor illustrations, by Leslie Duke, complete this gift-worthy edition."
