PROVO, Utah - Hyrum Smith's missionary diary, hand-decorated by his mother, Lucy Mack Smith, is the oldest of 575 diaries written by early Latter-day Saint missionaries that are now housed in the L. Tom Perry Special Collections of BYU's Harold B. Lee Library. After an enormous, five-year project, 376 of these diaries--including Smith's--are now available for patrons around the world to access online.
This is really neat. I went an looked at Hyrum Smiths and a few others. Some are statistical but some like Hyrum's tell of people and events. This will be a great and interesting reading for any extra time!
