Hyrum, in 1844. When the Nauvoo Charter was revoked, the militia no longer enjoyed legal status and assumed a distinctly different role in Mormon affairs until it was reconstituted after the Mormon emigration to Utah. --

Who were the Nauvoo Mormons? Were they Jacksonian Americans or did they embody some other weltanschaung? Why did this tiny Illinois town become such a protracted battleground for the Mormons and non-Mormons in the region? And what is the larger meaning of the Nauvoo experience for the various inheritors of the legacy of Joseph Smith, Jr.? Kingdom on the Mississippi Revisited includes fourteen thoughtful explanations that represent the most insightful and imaginative work on Mormon Nauvoo published in the last thirty years. The range of topics includes the Nauvoo Legion, the Mormon press, the political kingdom of God, the opposition of non-Mormons, the martyrdom of Joseph Smith, and the meaning of Nauvoo for Mormons. The introduction provides a critique of Nauvoo scholarship, and a closing bibliographical essay analyzes the historical literature on the Mormon experience at Nauvoo.

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 (1839-46) 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 it's beginnings and that the pattern of Mormon society in the West was laid. "...the quality and quantity of research is commendable... an excellent contribution to American mid-western history and to Mormoniana in general." -- Journal of American History

The Mormons, or "Latter-Day Saints," settle in Illinois and build the city of Nauvoo--Biography of Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormon sect--His discovery of the golden plates--Persecuted by his neighbours--Translates the golden plates--Description of the " Book of Mormon"--The Spaulding manuscript--First settlement of Mormons at Kirtland in Ohio--The Mormons driven from Ohio and Missouri--The city of Nauvoo built by the Mormons--The Nauvoo Legion incorporated--Attack on the Nauvoo Expositor--Joseph and Hyrum Smith arrested and lodged in Carthage jail--The citizens of Carthage attack and kill the prisoners--The Mormons exhorted to peace and submission by their leaders--The Mormons settle in the valley of the Great Salt Lake--The present prosperous condition of the Mormons accounted for. In April, 1840, the "Latter-Day Saints," or Mormons, came in large numbers to Illinois, and purchased a tract of land on the east bank of the Mississippi, at a point formerly known by the name of Commerce. Here they commenced building a city which they called Nauvoo, a Hebrew word, signifying, according to Mormon interpretation, "peaceable," or "pleasant." Nature has not formed along the "Great River," a more picturesque or eligible site for a large city. The succession of terraces ascending from the river until the high land is reached, furnish a gradual slope of remarkable beauty; noble groves of tall oaks, interspersed by winding vistas, clothe the ground to the summit ridge, from whence an immense undulating prairie is visible. No shrubbery or undergrowth obstructs the view of the open forest. Near the river, on the right, was the-beautiful residence of Dr. Isaac Galland, where art had combined with nature to form one of the most...

Best Book Award • Mormon History Association A brilliant young historian excavates the brief life of a lost Mormon city, uncovering a “grand, underappreciated saga in American history” (Wall Street Journal). In Kingdom of Nauvoo, Benjamin E. Park draws on newly available sources to re-create the founding and destruction of the Mormon city of Nauvoo. On the banks of the Mississippi in Illinois, the early Mormons built a religious utopia, establishing their own army and writing their own constitution. For those offenses and others—including the introduction of polygamy, which was bitterly opposed by Emma Smith, the iron-willed first wife of Joseph Smith—the surrounding population violently ejected the Mormons, sending them on their flight to Utah. Throughout his absorbing chronicle, Park shows how the Mormons of Nauvoo were representative of their era, and in doing so elevates Mormon history into the American mainstream.
