I noted that Hie to Kolob wasn’t mentioned in the article

Another interesting omission ...

Eliza Roxcy Snow gained renown for writing poetry. Many were set to music, with as many as 17 (IRRC) appearing in the LDS hymnal (I believe they have reduced the number to 7 or 8 in the current edition).

Many Saints don't know that Eliza was Joseph Smith's plural wife #15 on LDS Historian Todd Compton's famous list of Smith Concubines.

Even fewer Saints know that in 1842, Emma Smith beat Eliza with a broomstick and knocked her down a flight of stairs, causing Eliza to miscarry Smith's baby.

Eliza would marry Brigham Young after Smith's death. She died childless.
