Index for Histories, Volumes 1–2In addition to the histories themselves, introductory essays, annotation, and most refer-

ence materials have been indexed. For detailed map indexes, including map coordinates for specifi c locations, see H1:576–578 and H2:313–315. Spelling, punctuation, and capitalization of quotations have been standardized. Personal names are listed by their correct spellings, not by variant spellings that may be found in the documents, unless correct spelling is unknown. Entries for women are generally listed under their fi nal married names, with appropriate cross-references under maiden names or earlier married names. Unidentifi ed individuals, such as “Mr. Butterfi eld,” are included in the index. Joseph Smith (JS) and Emma Smith (ES) are referred to by their initials.

When found in an entry, “id.” indicates an entry in the Biographical Directory, “def.” refers to a defi nition in the Glossary, and “handwriting of” identifi es ranges of pages on which an individual inscribed text in the histories. Other documents recorded in the histo-ries, such as letters or revelations, are identifi ed in the Record keeping and Revelation entries.
