Hannah was born in 1855 in London, England. As a baby, she traveled to America, crossing the plains in a handcart, and settling in Lehi, Utah. As a young woman, she became the second wife of John Lye Gibb. She was forced "to live on the underground" to hide from U.S. Marshals, who sought her husband on charges of polygamy. She was arrested and sent to an internment camp. In 1901, she moved to Canada, where she built the first house in Raymond, Alberta. As a mid-wife, she delivered hundreds of babies. In her 70s she started to write poetry. At 82 she wrote her personal history. This book contains selections of her poetry and her personal history. |
