About This Book

A detailed narrative of the early Latter-day Saints' experience in Missouri and Illinois, beginning with the movement's origins and the search for Zion, proceeding through settlement, escalating tensions with local populations, organized mob actions, and the forced expulsions of church members. The account discusses internal discipline and prophetic reproofs, leadership responses including organized marches and legal appeals, and the political and social aftermath. Appendices present contemporary Missouri histories for comparison.
