Nauvoo: The City of Joseph

by David E. Miller, Della S. Miller

The historical implications of the events that took place at Nauvoo, and the insights they can give into the character and motivation of Mormonism under Joseph Smith have enduring significance. The strength and value of this study lies in the balance with which it documents the history of this important era. Conflicts between the Mormons and their "gentile" neighbors are presented graphically through quotations from newspapers and other writings of the time. The unfolding story makes lively and fascinating reading. Americans who wish to discover the limitations of American freedom and Mormons who wish to explore early Mormonism are most likely to find their answers here.

Informative but long and very dry. I had a hard time convincing myself to keep going.
