An independent recording of the public-domain 1883 first edition of Lydia Knight’s History, the First Book of the Noble Women’s Lives Series (Salt Lake City: Juvenile Instructor Office). The voices are AI-generated; each speaker has their own. This project is not produced, sponsored, or endorsed by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Text: Project Gutenberg eBook #46602, produced by Mariah Averett and the Mormon Texts Project. The title page says “By ‘Homespun’”; Project Gutenberg’s record names Susa Young Gates as the author. The book has no chapter titles: the short ones here are ours. The author speaks in one voice and the publisher, who wrote the short preface, in another. Straight quotation marks in the transcription are shown as typographic ones, and the Project Gutenberg transcriber’s note is left out.

Cover: Emigrants Crossing the Plains, Albert Bierstadt (1867) — public domain.
