Thomas Brown Holmes Stenhouse was an early Mormon pioneer and missionary who later became a Godbeite and with his wife, Fanny Stenhouse, became a vocal opponent of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As Godbeites, Stenhouse and his wife published several exposés of Mormonism. In 1872, Fanny Stenhouse published "Tell it All": The Story of a Life Experience in Mormonism. "In these pages, a woman, a wife and mother, speaks the sorrows and oppressions of which she has been the witness and the victim. It is because her sorrows and her oppressions are those of thousands, who, suffering like her, cannot or dare not speak for themselves, that she thus gives this history to the public. It is no sensational story, but a plain, unvarnished tale of truth, stranger and sadder than fiction..." H. B. STOWE
