Benjamin Franklin Johnson's journal is red leather and rests in the churBenjamin Franklin Johnson's journal is red leather and rests in the church archives in Salt Lake City. Now called My Life's Review, it's in its third hardbound printing, proudly owned by almost all of the families here. There are 388 pages of weddings and babies and life on his farms, stories of crossing the plains with the Mormon pioneers as they migrated from New York to Nauvoo, Ill., to Salt Lake. There's the tale of taking the wagons down into Mesa, a settlement of about 300, in the middle of 1882's steamy 110-degree July, and having to hightail it all the way to Tempe to find decent shade.

Born in New York in 1818, Benjamin was among the early joiners of the ChurBorn in New York in 1818, Benjamin was among the early joiners of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, organized in 1830 by Joseph Smith, one of Benjamin's close friends and regarded as the group's prophet. Benjamin's first bride was Melissa Bloomfield LeBaron, whom he married in 1841. She was 24, he 23.

Two years later, "early on a Sunday morning," writes Benjamin, Joseph SmiTwo years later, "early on a Sunday morning," writes Benjamin, Joseph Smith came to him and said, "Come brother Bennie, let us have a walk." Deep into the woods, it all came out: God, said Smith, wanted worthy Saints to take plural wives. And could he have Benjamin's sister?

"Brother Joseph," said Benjamin, "this is all new to me . . . To my educat"Brother Joseph," said Benjamin, "this is all new to me . . . To my education, it is all wrong." He asked his sister anyway.

"I stood before her trembling," wrote Benjamin, "but I opened my mouth a"I stood before her trembling," wrote Benjamin, "but I opened my mouth and my heart opened to the light of the Lord."

Benjamin instead offered up Mary Ann Hale, an orphan his mother had taken in as a child. Smith said, "No, but she is for you. You keep her and take her for your wife and you will be blessed."

Benjamin did, and that was that. Wife No. 3 came into the fold two years lBenjamin did, and that was that. Wife No. 3 came into the fold two years later (and left him in 1848, having "become dissatisfied.") Wife 4, Harriet Naomi Holman, the first wife's niece, was added in 1850, at age 16. Wives 5 and 6 were her sisters: Sarah Melissa in 1856 and Susan Adeline in 1857, at age 15. When Sarah Jane Spooner became the seventh wife two months later, Benjamin already had 11 kids.

In all this journal-keeping, heavy on Benjamin's feelings about his faitIn all this journal-keeping, heavy on Benjamin's feelings about his faith, there is never an explanation of how it works to share a husband, exactly. There is no record of who slept where, who got Valentine's Day and what the "sister-wives," as they called each other, were thinking when four of them each insisted on naming a son Benjamin. (No explanation, either, of the histrionics that must have come from having two wives named Sarah, two called Melissa, and three who were sisters - try arguing with them.) Sometimes they all lived together, sometimes the wives lived apart. Sometimes, wrote Benjamin, "my wives were willing to sell me for pottage." The night the wives arrived in Mesa, they were so mad at Benjamin that he slept outside, alone.

It both amuses and injures many of Johnson's 44,000 descendants that, at tIt both amuses and injures many of Johnson's 44,000 descendants that, at the end of his life, all his wives had moved away or were so angry with him that he died alone, only a few of his children at his side.
