Nauvoo: Kingdom on the Mississippi |

Flanders,
Robert Bruce, University of Illinois Press, Urbana, IL. |

Book Description: A history of what became a romantic legend about a martyred prophet, a lost city, and religious persecution, this volume tells the story of Nauvoo, the early Mormon Church, and the temporal life of Joseph Smith. Nauvoo (1838-46) was a critical period in Mormon history. The climax of Smith’s career and the start of Brigham Young’s, it was here that Utah really had its beginnings and that the pattern of Mormon society in the West was laid. Buy

Nauvoo,
A Place of Peace, A People of Promise |

Leonard,
Glen M., Deseret Book, Salt Lake City, UT |
|
|
Book Description: This monumental work provides context for the Nauvoo period, beginning with the expulsion of the saints from Missouri and ending with Brigham Young leading exiles from Illinois on the trek West. It portrays the people of Nauvoo--their faith, their economy, and their strivings to build a temple. It details challenges: the suspicion and hatred many outsiders felt toward the Mormons, the foes from within the fold, and the martyrdom. |
