Autobiography of Moses Franklin Farnsworth, 1949.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122499719

This typescript was copied from a typewritten account owned by Dana Finley. Written by Moses Franklin Farnsworth in 1905, this autobiography gives an account of his life, covering his conversion to Mormonism; frontier and pioneer life in Salt Lake City and Kanab; and his mission trips to England. Other details of particular interest include genealogical information about his five wives and thirty children, stories of his service as a 1st lieutenant in the Nauvoo Legion, and his discussion of the "Co-hab code of Dixie" whereby polygamists could communicate with each other through the use of code words to avoid capture by authorities.
