No.41H PERSECUTION AND EXPULSION OF THE MORMOMS FROM THEIR BEAUTIFUL CITY OF NAUVOO, ILL
Back:
PUBLISHED BY JOHNSON, OF SALT LAKE, UTAH
THE City of Nauvoo, situated on the banks of the
Mississippi, in Illinois, was incorporated Decem-
ber, 1839. Here the Mormons, under the leader-
ship of Joseph Smith, built a beautiful and thriv-
ing city. A magnificent temple was erected, and for a
number of years the Mormons rested in comparative
peace. The efforts of their persecutors, however, re-
sulted in their exile in 1846, from which point began the
long and hazardous journey across the plains which
resulted in the settlement of the Salt Lake Valley. The
temple was destroyed by vandals in 1848.
