This is the sixth volume of an epic series on family and Mormon
history, covering perhaps the darkest year in this history. In 1838
the Mormons in Missouri--led by Joseph Smith--violated an 1836
pledge to reside only in Mormon-designated Caldwell County,
establishing settlements in Daviess and Carroll counties. When
vigilante groups attempted to remove these settlements, the Mormons
responded in a very aggressive manner militarily, even engaging in
widespread arson and looting. This set off a civil war that quickly
resulted in the total expulsion from Missouri of all Mormons loyal
to Joseph Smith This volume describes these events in great detail
and thoroughly examines the lively debate among historians as to
how to interpret them.
This is the fifth volume of an epic series, The Quest for the New
Jerusalem: A Mormon Generational Saga, combining ancestral, Mormon,
and American history. It focuses upon events from the fall of 1835
to January 1838, when the "Kirtland period" of Mormon history ends.
Describing the activities of the author's Carter ancestors, it
looks at authoritarianism in the Church, the dedication of the
Kirtland Temple, the Church's April 1836 anti-abolitionist and
pro-slavery doctrine, the establishment of Mormon Caldwell County
in Missouri, the first very successful mission to England, and the
mass apostasy of high-ranking Mormon leaders following the failure
of Joseph Smith's illegal Kirtland Safety Society bank.
