Hannah Simmons Gibb compiled her autobiography for a contest put on by her stake's Genealogical Committee in 1937. That same autobiography was later published alongside her poetry for her posterity. This edition of Hannah's autobiography contains additional resources in order to gain a richer understanding of her remarkable life, such as: further accounts of John Lye Gibb's biography; the life story of John's first wife, Sarah Smith Gibb; and the biographies of both Jesse and Raymond Knight, the founders of Raymond, Alberta, the small town Hannah was one of the first settlers of.
