Heber Q. Hale manifestation and poem
Scope and Contents
Twenty-five page handwritten transcription of Hale's manifestation on the spirit world. According to the transcription, this manifestation was related by him at a genealogical conference held in the auditorium of the Bishops' Building, Salt Lake City, Utah, in October 1920. In the account, Hale speaks of a vision he received while at the home of W. F. Rawson in Carey, Idaho on January 20, 1920. The vision includes descriptions of people he met in the Spirit World, the beauty of the surroundings, and witnessing multitudes of people busy in the work of preaching the gospel and the salvation of the dead. Included is an edited transcription of the account found on the internet in 2005. Also included is a five-page handwritten transcript of the poem "Unawares," which also talks about a visitation from Jesus Christ to the author's home. Both handwritten items appear to be written by the same person.
