Nauvoo: Kingdom on the Mississippi

Robert Bruce Flanders, Urbana: University of Illinois Press (Trd), 1975, 6x9" softbound, 374 pages.

This book tells the story of Nauvoo, the early Mormon Church, and the temporal life of Joseph Smith. "Shows considerable original research in its detailed account of Joseph Smith's land speculation and the related Mormon attempts to develop business, industry and finance in Nauvoo."

Review Excerpt: "Nearly forty years have passed since this book was first published, and it is still the best synthesis of this complex subject. Robert Bruce Flanders' 1965 classic study of Nauvoo, incomplete as it is because of its intentional disregard of social and religious issues, opened an avenue of discussion that most others have been unwilling to follow since that time." --Roger D. Launius of Bowie, Maryland

Dr. Flanders is Emeritus Professor of History, Southwest Missouri State University, Springfield, Missouri
