Great historical info
Written nearly a hundred years ago with surprising accuracy by one of the LDS Church's greatest historians and writers B. H. Roberts. This is an excellent history of the Mormon city of Nauvoo which in 6 short years (1839-1846) became one of the largest cities in Illinois and western United States.
I LIKED THE COMING TOGETHER OF THIS HISTORY THAN I DID OF SOME OF THE OTHER BOOKS I'VE READ. A SAD TIME. THE MORMONS TRULY WERE PERSECUTED, WHICH I'VE COME A GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF WITH READING THIS VERSION OF HISTORICAL EVENTS.

What a fascinating topic! I wish B.H. Roberts was more of a real historian. Along with the nuggets if fascinating history, there was a good deal of ranting and apologetics. I also really wanted to know more about the various LDS factions that split off at the time of the exodus from Nauvoo, but was
