Rise & Fall of Nauvoo

Brigham H. Roberts, Salt Lake City: Deseret News, 1900. 5.25x8" softbound reprint by Archive Publishers, Grantsville, Utah.

Elder B.H. Roberts combines the story of Nauvoo's history with doctrinal development taking place within the Church during the turbulent 1840s into this single classic volume. Reviewing the Missouri agitation surrounding the relocation of the Saints into the swampy bogs of Commerce, Illinois, through its transformation into Nauvoo "the Beautiful," the reader is led through petitions for redress to the federal government for previous losses in Missouri; the intrigue of John C. Bennett; the introduction of plural marriage; blame for the attempted assassination of Missouri's governor; the several local and state events surrounding the martyrdom of Joseph and Hyrum Smith; and the subsequent transition of Church leadership to the Twelve Apostles. This is one of the most complete historical accounts of the Nauvoo Period (1840-1846); a critical era in Church development.

Few authors are as widely respected and collected in the LDS Church as Elder B. H. Roberts. The once semi-literate miner and blacksmith determined at the age of eighteen to return to school enter the field of teaching. Called as a general authority at the age of thirty-one, Elder B. H. Roberts spent a lifetime compiling and writing the history of the Latter-day Saints. Having acted as editor of both the Millennial Star and the Salt Lake Herald, he is probably best known today for his editing of the six-volume History of the Church and authoring an additional six-volumes containing the Comprehensive History of the Church.
