Foreword
These stories of Ellen G. White, my grandmother, are true. The accounts of the visions have been verified by hundreds of reliable witnesses, some of whom have left written reports of the events and circumstances accompanying them. Detail and conversation are based on Mrs. White’s personal correspondence and diary records, upon her own stories and those of her son, William Clarence White, who was my father, and upon information gleaned from her relatives and friends. Some items are based upon my 33 years of intimate acquaintance with my grandmother.SMG 10.1
