| 520 | _a"A Child of the Sea; and Life Among the Mormons" by Elizabeth Whitney Williams is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative outlines the author's personal experiences, focusing particularly on her early life on Beaver Island and her interactions with the Mormons, especially during the period when James Jesse Strang established a Mormon kingdom there. It also depicts the broader history of the area, including the diverse communities that formed around it. The opening of the book introduces readers to Elizabeth's childhood memories, emphasizing her connection to the water and the family's life as lightkeepers. Elizabeth recounts vivid scenes from her early days by the lake, detailing family dynamics and the significant events that shaped her upbringing, such as her rescue from drowning by her brother. As she reminisces about her life on Beaver Island, the narrative sets the stage for later discussions about the Mormons, describing how they arrived on the island and Elizabeth's observations of their community and beliefs in contrast to her own family's experiences. This rich blend of personal anecdotes and historical context invites readers into a world shaped by resilience, faith, and the complexities of early American life.
